Our President & CEO, Fahad Abunayyan, attended the 5th edition of the Future Minerals Forum (FMF) 2026 in Riyadh, which once again demonstrated Saudi Arabia’s growing role as a global convenor for policymakers, industry leaders, international organizations, and investors shaping the future of the minerals sector.
During the forum, Fahad joined his strategic partner Majid Alghaslan at the Front End Pavilion, alongside colleagues and industry peers. He also attended a reception hosted by the U.S. Embassy in honor of the forum, where he met with distinguished leaders including Rajit Nanda, CEO of DataVolt, Charles Hallab, and members of the Hill International team.
Held under the theme “Dawn of a Global Cause,” the forum brought together global stakeholders to address critical issues across mineral supply chains, sustainability, investment, and innovation. With participation from over 100 governments and numerous international organizations, the event reflected a strong global commitment to building resilient and responsible mineral value chains.
The forum highlighted the importance of practical outcomes, including strengthening international cooperation, aligning policies, unlocking investment opportunities, and accelerating innovation across the minerals ecosystem. Key discussions focused on early-stage exploration financing, strategic mineral corridors, and downstream value creation—underscoring the urgency of mobilizing capital to support the global energy transition.
Overall, FMF 2026 served as a highly impactful platform for dialogue, collaboration, and partnership-building, reinforcing the Kingdom’s leadership in driving long-term, sustainable growth in the global minerals sector.
