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.
