Stronger Together: Progress through Partnerships.

Africa stands at the forefront of the global energy transition – not only as a continent endowed with abundant critical minerals but also as a growing market for clean energy solutions and green technologies. Governments across the continent have laid out bold policy visions to industrialize and capture more value from these resources, from battery-grade minerals to electric mobility and renewable energy. However, ambition needs to be matched by implementation, and partnerships will remain fundamental for unlocking investments, infrastructure, and access to technology, know-how and markets.

Aligned with Mining Indaba 2026’s theme “Stronger Together: Progress through Partnerships”, Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), The Critical Minerals Africa Group, UNIDO’s Global Alliance for Responsible and Green Minerals, and the Council for Critical Minerals Development in the Global South, and the Paris Peace Forum’s Global Council for Responsible Transition Minerals, are convening a series of roundtables to convene governments, industrial development corporations, regional and national investment agencies and industry to discuss concrete partnerships necessary to address key gaps facing Africa’s value addition implementation agenda.
