The organisers of the DRC Critical Minerals & Industrialisation Forum (DCMI) , co‑located with the DRC‑Africa Battery Metals Forum , have announced the first dates of its exclusive, upcoming, high-impact digital webinar series. While the event was meant to take place in Kinshasa from 7 to 8 October, the event organisers, VUKA Group, postponed the in-person Forum to 2027 to align directly with the DRC Government’s updated national policy frameworks and to allow the revised roadmaps for the $58 billion Master Plan for Industrialisation ( Plan Directeur d'Industrialisation, PDI ) to mature. The digital webinar series will kick off on 23 September and run until 2027, providing convenient access to the insights, market intelligence and strategic discussions planned for the live event.
