At IMARC, one of the prominent topics was the growing importance of critical minerals, which are essential for high-tech applications like renewable energy, electric vehicles, and advanced electronics.
The event also served as a platform to discuss gold price strength expectations in the wake of current geopolitical uncertainties. Gold, often viewed as a safe-haven asset, remains a focal point for the mining industry. Moreover, the conference delved into pressing topics such as decarbonisation, new business models (like technology as a service), and the increasing importance of digitalisation, data analytics, and automation.
