This year, presenting our theme..

Indonesia's Future in Critical Minerals: What Lies Ahead?

Indonesia’s substantial mineral resources, including bauxite, copper, iron, gold, nickel, and tin are pivotal for local downstream processing, enhancing economic growth, optimizing resource use, and creating high-value products, as evidenced by a significant increase in nickel exports from USD 1.1 billion to USD 33.8 billion in 2022. The government’s decree on critical minerals aims to bolster national economic and defense sectors, with 47 identified critical minerals playing a key role in technological advancement and energy transition.
