The Critical Minerals North America Conference and Exhibition is Americas’ longest-running international platform for critical minerals, raw materials strategy, supply chain challenges, sourcing and processing, mining investment, new energy, and clean‑energy technologies — uniting the entire mineral resources value chain in New York City.

 

The United States critical minerals market is undergoing an aggressive, policy‑driven expansion aimed at accelerating domestic processing, securing national‑defense supply chains, and reducing deep reliance on China. Fueled by strong demand from green energy, artificial intelligence (AI) and aerospace, the sector is projected to grow steadily — with the core U.S. mining and critical minerals segment expected to exceed USD 12.9 billion by 2032, while the global market it supports scales beyond USD 715 billion by 2035. Despite multibillion‑dollar federal capital injections, the U.S. continues to face severe upstream supply deficits, prompting a strategic pivot toward downstream processing and national stockpiling.

 

In parallel, the U.S. critical minerals landscape is experiencing a major structural shift driven by an “America First” industrial strategy designed to decouple supply chains from China. Yet, despite major trade‑policy shifts and federal investment, the U.S. still confronts domestic extraction shortfalls, operational bottlenecks and prolonged structural import dependence — making this conference a timely platform for industry leaders, investors and policymakers.

​

We expect 300+ senior‑level executives from 20+ countries, including governments, mining companies, investors, energy firms, technology providers, banks, industry associations and global stakeholders — all participating in two days of partnering, networking, business matching, and strategic dialogue.

 

Join us at Americas' most influential critical minerals platform, featuring a strategic agenda, international exhibition floor, and a 1‑2‑1 meeting programme designed to unlock new partnerships, investment opportunities and cross‑industry collaboration.
