Building Critical Minerals Value Chains in South Africa: An Investor Dialogue

South Africa has adopted a Critical Minerals Strategy and Implementation Plan that positions the country as a reliable supplier and value-adding hub for minerals essential to the global energy transition, digitalisation, and advanced manufacturing. This was further supported by the adoption of the G20 Critical Minerals Framework at the G20 Leaders Summit.

This event is designed to showcase South Africa’s critical minerals value proposition, create a direct conversation between economic Ministers and investors, and highlight concrete opportunities where South Africa is ready to partner.
