We are thrilled to announce a new win under the Framework Contract (FWC) EVENTS 2020: Mining Events and Business Missions.
The global objective of this assignment is to position the EU as a key player in the mining sector and contribute to the identification of concrete investment opportunities to enhance the participation of EU industries in critical raw materials (CRM) value chains originating from partner countries.
Specifically, the assignment aims to secure and enhance EU presence in high-level international events in the mining sector organised by third parties and to support the sound organisation and optimal Team Europe representation in business missions or other similar events organised by the EU.
Key highlights of this initiative include:
- Mining Indaba 2025 (February 3–6, 2025): The assignment will facilitate EU participation by designing and constructing a Team Europe pavilion and organizing the second EU-South Africa Investment Seminar on the event’s sidelines.
- Business Missions: Two missions, each with approximately 15 participants, will be organized — possibly to South Africa and to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)—to foster partnerships and investment opportunities.
As part of this project, we will also offer supplementary support and additional expertise for the organization of other relevant events in Sub-Saharan Africa or Central Asia, subject to budget availability and the requirements of the Contracting Authority.
This initiative demonstrates EU’s commitment to strengthening global partnerships in the mining sector and driving forward sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
The project will run for a total of nine months.
