The DRC-Africa Battery Metals Forum will be held this year in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This event is intended to focus on building a new industry in the country and across Africa, focusing on aspects such as valuation, location, environmental criteria, and governance (ESG), investor incentives and free trade zones.
According to POLITICO.CD, the meetings will take place from September 20 to 21, 2023 at the Kin Plaza Arjaan by Rotana hotel. Diplomats, researchers and innovators will come together to discuss and contribute to wealth creation in the battery metals industry value chain in the DRC and Africa.
The DRC-Africa Battery Metals Forum Advisory Council will play a crucial role in the strategic direction of the event. Their in-depth perspectives and analysis will help maintain the innovation and excellence of this event.
A collaboration with Fair Cobalt Alliance will ensure sustainable mining practices in the battery metals industry in the DRC. In this context, a visit to the mining sites in Kolwezi will be organized to highlight their work and promote responsible mining practices.
The DRC-Africa Battery Metals Forum is therefore a unique opportunity to bring together industry players, researchers and diplomats to discuss the opportunities and challenges of this growing industry. With the commitment to sustainable practices and innovations, this event will contribute to the economic growth of the DRC and Africa as a whole.
