Critical Minerals North America Conference and Exhibition

Critical Minerals North America Conference and Exhibition is Americas’ longest running international critical minerals, commodities, investment, new energy & technologies show, bringing together the entire mineral resources value chain to New York City. 

​Critical minerals are crucial for high-tech commercial and defense technologies such as semiconductors chips, advanced alloys, jet engines, batteries, electric vehicles, wind turbines and solar panels. North America is diversifying its critical minerals supply chains to reduce reliance on China & adversarial nations and boost minerals security as those minerals pose significant challenges to national security and the aerospace & defense (A&D) sectors. Since mid-2023, the U.S. Department of Defense has already invested $250 million in funds appropriated by the Inflation Reduction Act to expand domestic production of critical materials.
