From November 22 to 24, 2026, the Pullman Kinshasa Grand Hôtel becomes Africa's capital for mining dialogue. As global demand for critical minerals is set to surge by 2030, the Democratic Republic of the Congo establishes itself as the epicentre of the energy transition.
Makutano Mining 2026 is designed as a strategic decision-making space, geared toward concrete commitments, bilateral agreements and major announcements. More than a forum, a catalyst.
Three days to bring together public and private decision-makers, mining majors and juniors, financiers, institutions and civil-society stakeholders around a single question: how does Africa capture the value of its critical minerals?
Resource sovereignty, strategic bilateral agreements, sub-regional integration.
Direct matchmaking between project developers, financiers and public institutions.
Cobalt, lithium, copper, tin, rare earths: the critical minerals value chain.
From extraction to processing: capturing added value on African soil.
25 years of experience in the international mining sector (Glencore, Rio Tinto, De Beers, AngloGold Ashanti). The first African woman to chair the World Diamond Council. Ranked among the 100 most inspiring women in global mining (Women In Mining, 2020).
The speaker programme is being finalised. More announcements in the coming weeks.
The Pullman Kinshasa Grand Hôtel, a leading hotel in the Congolese capital, hosts the forum's three days: plenary sessions, parallel panels, ministerial luncheons, bilateral signings and gala evenings.
For international delegations, logistics packages (on-site rooms, airport transfers, electronic visa) are available on request from the secretariat general.
