The VUKA Group has announced the launch of the DRC Critical Minerals & Industrialisation Forum, a new event co-located with the annual DRC-Africa Battery Metals Forum in Kolwezi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, scheduled for October 7-9, 2026. This initiative responds to the Democratic Republic of the Congo's government's drive to industrialize the country by adding value to its mineral wealth. The forum will bring together various stakeholders, including mining companies, refiners, manufacturers, investors, and government representatives, to accelerate the Democratic Republic of the Congo's transition from mineral extraction to integrated industrial value chains. The event aims to foster dialogue into action and partnerships into long-term impact, building on the success and engagement from the previous DRC-Africa Battery Metals Forum.
