The stage is set for IMC Morocco 2025, where global mining leaders, investors, and innovators will gather in Marrakech from 24–26 November 2025 to explore how mining can power Africa’s green growth and the world’s energy transition.
Now in its second edition, the Morocco International Mining Congress & Exhibition (IMC 2025) is organised by the Federation of the Mineral Industry of Morocco (FDIM) and AME Trade Ltd, with strong support from the Ministry of Energy Transition & Sustainable Development, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and AMDIE.
Held under the theme “Strategic and Critical Metals: Morocco, an Open Industrial and Technological Hub for Regional and Global Added Value,” IMC 2025 will spotlight Morocco’s growing leadership in sustainable mining and critical minerals.
Morocco: Africa’s Mining Powerhouse
Morocco’s dynamic reforms and vast geological potential have made it one of the world’s most exciting mining destinations. Morocco has been ranked as Africa’s top mining investment destination according to the The Fraser Institute of Canada, a reflection of the Kingdom’s stability, modern legislation, and commitment to responsible development.
With world-class resources, renewable energy capacity, and a prime position between Africa, Europe, and the Atlantic Basin, Morocco is shaping the conversation around critical minerals and sustainable industrialisation.
