2027 Agenda

Three clocks, one continent. Engineers think in decades. Investors think in quarters. Governments think in elections. Mining CEOs are expected to align all three. The race for critical minerals is revealing one of mining's greatest leadership challenges: aligning the timelines of capital, policy and project development. As governments push for faster growth, investors demand returns and the world scrambles to secure future supply, can mining leaders bring these competing clocks into sync, or will the gap continue to hold back investment and progress?

Leadership Imperatives:

• Which timeline should shape mining's most important decisions?
• Can short-term pressures support long-term investment?
• How do we move faster without compromising future value?
