2026 Agenda Sessions

Country Showcase – Republic of Botswana

The session will outline Botswana’s pivot from its diamond-dominated mining profile toward a diversified minerals future, including the strengths of its cutting/polishing infrastructure and the national strategy to build value-addition and beneficiation. Secondarily, it will explore how the country's stable regulatory environment offers incentives for mineral development and how investors can engage in the evolving mining value chain alongside local participation.
