This conference has been an eye-opener for me and my country. We have critical minerals in Malawi, but we have learnt that we cannot [develop the sector] alone. By collaborating with other countries, we will be able to benefit more from our resources.

The conference is inspiring and showcases the level of cooperation that African countries want to achieve, especially around the financing of mining projects to supply the global energy transition.

The conference is very informative. All the participants from across the continent are looking for partnerships. There are a lot of existing associations, such as the African Diamond Producers Association, which the critical minerals sector can learn from.
