MINEX Europe 2025 will be held from 21 to 23 October in Oeiras and will feature the participation of the Cluster Portugal Mineral Resources, which is hosting a dedicated session on sustainable mining in Portugal. Taking place on 21 October, the session will bring together public authorities, companies and experts to discuss the country’s role in securing the supply of critical raw materials. Europe’s growing autonomy: MINEX Europe 2025 in Oeiras The European Union remains highly dependent on third countries for access to critical raw materials (CRMs), which are essential to key strategic sectors such as renewable energy, electric mobility and digitalisation. In response, the EU has been reinforcing its commitment to a more autonomous and resilient economy through initiatives like the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) and support for strategic projects across Europe. It is in this context that MINEX Europe 2025 takes place, from 21 to 23 October, at the Lagoas Park Hotel in Lisbon. Organised by Advantix Ltd., the event brings together mining professionals, policymakers and businesses to explore sustainable, technological and collaborative solutions to ensure Europe’s supply of critical raw materials. Since its inception in 2015, MINEX has travelled across several European countries, with past editions held in Poland, Austria and the Czech Republic. 21 October session: The Cluster leads the transition to sustainable mining in Portugal On the opening day of the event, Cluster Portugal Mineral Resources will host the session entitled “From Exploration to Extraction – The New Era of Sustainable Mining in Portugal”, from 11:00 to 13:00.
