Mining Indaba for Government
Driving Africa's Government Mining development through collaboration and investment
Mining Indaba is the leading forum where African governments connect with global mining leaders, investors, technology providers, and development partners to unlock the continent’s mineral potential responsibly and inclusively, with a strong focus on government mining initiatives.
Our 2026 theme, “Stronger Together: Progress Through Partnerships”, reflects our commitment to collaboration at every level - from community engagement to intergovernmental cooperation and private sector partnerships.
Reasons to attend
Enhanced government proposition
In support of this objective, ensuring the voice of government mining and supporting ministries will be heard across the event – not only in the government-dedicated Intergovernmental Summit, but across all key programmes including Disruptive Discussions, Sustainability Series and Technology and Innovation.
Future-proofing government focus
Future-proofing from a government perspective involves implementing policies and regulations that ensure sustainable development, environmental protection, and social responsibility in the mining industry. It also involves fostering innovation and technology adoption to enhance efficiency and competitiveness in the sector.
What to Expect
Intergovernmental Summit
The Intergovernmental Summit is a forum dedicated to providing a unique platform for African leaders, governmental organisations and foreign partners to promote interstate cooperation, as well as offer meaningful engagement opportunities with both existing & prospective private sector partners. Through greater transparency and a drive for further value chain development, the IGS will promote trust and collaboration across Africa and beyond, with the guiding principle of future-proofing our mining sector.
Ministerial Symposium
Attendees can expect engaging discussions on innovative solutions for sustainable development, networking opportunities with industry leaders, and the chance to contribute to shaping the future of African value chains. The symposium will provide a platform for sharing best practices, fostering partnerships, and driving actionable outcomes to advance socio-economic growth in the region.
