DRC Mining Week 2027

Where the DRC’s mining industry comes to do business

For more than two decades, DRC Mining Week has brought together mining operators, government leaders, investors, financiers and solution providers at the heart of one of the world’s most strategically important mining markets.

This is where relationships are built, investment conversations move forward, solutions are showcased and opportunities become business. In 2027, the industry returns to Lubumbashi to shape what comes next for mining in the DRC.

If the DRC is part of your growth strategy, this is where your business needs to be.

The DRC Mining Week was really great with an amazing variety of participants. I participated in several editions but this one was really special, we felt the desire of the delegates to get involved differently in the mining sector of the DRC and for Glencore, it is a must to take part in this event.
