Marrakech, Morocco – The world’s mining industry is at a turning point, and Morocco is placing itself at the centre of the conversation. The Morocco International Mining Congress & Exhibition (IMC 2025), held from 24–26 November 2025 at the Pickalbatros Golf Hotel in Marrakech, will unite policymakers, investors, and innovators to highlight how mining can power sustainable development, critical minerals integration, and green industrialisation.
Organised by the Federation of the Mineral Industry of Morocco (FDIM) in partnership with AME Trade Ltd and supported at the highest level, by the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and AMDIE, the event positions Morocco as a benchmark for responsible mining and industrial transformation in the 21st century.
From Mining to Meaningful Impact
Unlike traditional mining conferences, IMC Morocco 2025 is not just about extraction — it is about transformation. The programme is designed to move the conversation from what we mine to how mining can drive industrialisation, climate action, and inclusive growth.
IMC Morocco 2025 will feature:
-
- A Ministerial Panel led by the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, Morocco
- High-level plenary sessions exploring sustainable value chains, geopolitical impact, mining sovereignty, responsible mining and the role of critical minerals in the energy transition.
- 8 Breakaway sessions delving into themes such as geometallurgy, mine water management, talent development, logistics corridors, and women in mining.
- A showcase of projects shaping mining transformation in Morocco and across the continent.
- Dedicated B2B meeting areas for extended networking
IMC 2025 will provide a dedicated platform for exchange, partnerships, and solutions that push the mining industry towards greater resilience and sustainability.

A Word from FDIM
“IMC 2025 is establishing itself as an essential platform for dialogue and the sharing of expertise around major global mining issues. Under the theme ‘Strategic and Critical Metals: Morocco, an open industrial and technological hub for regional and global added value,’ this edition will highlight not only Morocco’s potential, but also its central role in the energy transition and sustainable development.
This year, we wanted to align our activities with an in-depth reflection on sustainability, technological innovation, and the responsible development of resources. We invite all stakeholders in the mining value chain to join us as we work together to build promising prospects for the future of the sector.” – Mr Mohammed Cherrat, President of FDIM
