Mining Investment Asia connects drivers and thinkers of the global mining industry in South East Asia and brings together mining leaders,
entrepreneurs, financiers, investors, government leaders, technical experts and innovators.
The mining industry is evolving, so investors venture into the Asian market.
Mining Investment Asia is strengthening its position as the only platform in South East Asia where developers, explorers & miners showcase projects to investors from around the world and mining technology, equipment and services companies exhibit their solutions, launch new products or want to enter or expand their market presence to Asian mineral resources industry.
Our world-renowned investors and mining entrepreneurs provide new perspectives on key issues disrupting & innovating mining sector in Asia, share project updates, regional trends, regulatory changes and investment highlights plus competitive intelligence on the growth strategies of leading companies in the sector.
Mining Investment Asia is the leading regional mining investment forum for the Asian commodity market.
In 2017, we are launching our inaugural ‘Women in Mining Day’ to address the issue of gender diversity in the mining sector. In partnership with various Women in Mining partner organisations, Mining Investment Asia is taking the lead within Asia to champion this cause by dedicating a full day to highlight this important issue. At ‘Women in Mining Day’ on 28 March, we will discuss why gender diversity matters for the mining industry and the current barriers preventing parity, with a particular focus on the Asian mining industry. Our speakers will also present their respective findings and the steps that various organisations and companies have taken to implement gender diversity best practices.
It was a privilege to be involved, as always. Great job!
