Spire Events is Honoured to Partner for SIREXE 2024, Ivory Coast's Inaugural Mining, Oil and Energy Conference & Exhibition
​
SIREXE will be held in Abidjan, Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire) from 27 Nov to 2 Dec 2024. This is the country's first mining, oil and energy conference and exhibition and is supported by Côte d'Ivoire's Ministry of Mines, Petroleum and Energy. We are proud to be selected as one of the few global partners for this prestigious event.
​
Ivory Coast, the world's top cocoa producer, is seeking to develop its mining sector to diversify its sources of income and gold mining is on the rise in the country. Most of Cote d'Ivoire's primary energy demand is currently covered by local oil refinery supplies and domestic gas production, although the country is also expanding its hydropower and solar energy sectors to support its renewable energy development.

Critical Minerals Conference to debut in Tokyo, Japan in September 2024
​
We are proud to bring our Critical Minerals Conference Series to Japan for the first time in 2024 in partnership with our event partner International Security Industry Council of Japan (ISIC Japan) and our knowledge partner Greenwich House.
​
Critical Minerals are vital to Japan's economic security. Without access to these essential materials, Japan’s famous auto and electronics industries will become irrelevant. However, Japan’s strength in high-tech is offset by its lack of these critical resources, making it virtually dependent on imports. Consequently, the nation’s government, trading companies, mining companies, automobile companies, electronics firms, banks, investment funds, and others are all focused on securing new supplies of strategic minerals around the globe.
​
Critical Minerals Japan addresses new technologies, global alliances, end-user demand, national security issues, sustainability, and more, making this event one of the most important in the Indo-Pacific world today.
