Shanghai Metals Market (SMM) is proud to announce that the Indonesia Critical Minerals Conference & Expo 2026, co-organized by SMM and the Indonesia Nickel Miners Association (APNI), was grandly held at Pullman Jakarta Central Park on June 3. SMM Chairman Adam Fan delivered opening remarks at the flagship industry event.

As highlighted by Mr. Fan, this marks the official staging of the 4th Indonesia Critical Minerals Conference & Expo. For years, SMM has maintained close collaboration with APNI to jointly launch this landmark gathering for Indonesia’s mineral industry. Committed to building a high-connected global platform linking Indonesia to the worldwide industrial landscape, the event empowers resource development through technological innovation, bridges upstream producers and downstream consumers, and drives effective alignment between industrial development and market opportunities.
Thanks to years of steady cultivation and upgrading, the 2026 edition has achieved a record-high scale. It gathered 3,500+ on-site attendees and 120+ industry speakers, featuring 5 dedicated forums that fully cover the entire industrial chain of nickel-cobalt new energy, coal, energy transition, aluminum and tin sectors.
The extensive participation of global institutions, enterprises, industry experts and industrial chain stakeholders fully reflects the rising international recognition and confidence in Indonesia’s critical minerals industrial ecosystem. A robust global critical minerals supply chain is inseparable from in-depth cross-border cooperation. Moving forward, the conference will continue to boost supply chain transparency and interconnection, gather elite industry insights via its professional platform, and further deepen global industrial collaboration across the critical minerals sector.
