African Critical Minerals Summit

The African Critical Minerals Summit (ACMS) is a high-level continental platform that brings together government leaders, industry executives, researchers, investors, and civil society to shape Africa’s strategic role in the global critical minerals landscape.

The summit focuses on the sustainable identification, exploration, extraction, beneficiation, and trade of Africa’s vast critical mineral resources.

Held annually in South Africa, ACMS seeks to drive policy innovation, investment partnerships, and value chain integration, ensuring African countries move beyond being just suppliers of raw materials to becoming global players in beneficiation, energy transition, and mineral-based industrialisation.
