In the heart of **Riyadh, Saudi Arabia**, a remarkable shift is underway in the global minerals sector. The **Future Minerals Forum (FMF)**, recognized as the world’s leading platform for shaping the future of minerals, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with **BMO**, the global leader in metals and mining investment banking. This collaboration transcends borders and ambitions, setting the stage for a more interconnected and sustainable mineral investment landscape.
With the shared vision of driving global mineral development through strategic investment promotion, FMF and BMO are poised to bring unparalleled expertise to investors seeking new opportunities. As the industry faces rapid transformation fueled by technology, demand for critical minerals, and sustainability imperatives, this partnership is positioned to ignite meaningful dialogues and create actionable pathways, unlocking value in regions such as the **MENA** and the “Super Region” — spanning Africa, Western, and Central Asia.
Building Bridges in the Global Mineral Landscape
The partnership, a first for FMF, was hailed by Ali Al-Mutairi — FMF’s Executive Director — as a historic milestone. His words underscored the forum’s mission: to connect investors, policymakers, and industry leaders not just in the region, but globally. This step ensures that both organizations will create lasting opportunities, enhancing sustainability and innovation in mineral development projects.
Moreover, under the inspiring theme **"Gateway to Funding"**, FMF will host exclusive elements to elevate the investor experience. From *closed-door mining investment journey sessions* led by BMO — mapping the entire mineral value chain from exploration to processing — to investor-focused presentations by major mining companies, FMF will provide attendees with rare, direct engagement with industry decision-makers.
Riyadh 2026 – The Stage for Transformation
Scheduled from **January 13 to 15, 2026**, the Future Minerals Forum will transform Riyadh into the epicenter of global mineral investment discussions. The atmosphere is expected to be electric, with innovators, financiers, and key stakeholders convening under one roof to discuss not only capital access, but also strategies for sustainable growth within the sector.
Transitioning from previous editions, FMF 2026 will serve as a **gateway for international cooperation**. Whether it’s a regional entrepreneur looking for mining partnerships or an institutional investor seeking to diversify portfolios, the forum promises a wealth of resources, connections, and actionable insights. This carefully curated combination of high-level strategy, investor engagement, and expert knowledge sharing reflects FMF’s dedication to shaping the future of minerals.
In a world hungry for resources but conscious of environmental impact, the FMF-BMO partnership signals a new era of collaboration — one where opportunities are abundant, sustainability is a priority, and every handshake could spark the next big chapter in mineral development.
