Strategic Control?
The International Antimony Association Conference 24–25 November 2026
Renaissance Hotel, Brussels
The global antimony market is undergoing a profound transformation. Once considered a niche commodity, antimony has become a crucial raw material at the centre of geopolitical competition, industrial policy and global supply chain shifts.
Antimony Day 2026 – Strategic Control? will bring together policymakers, i2A and CRMA membership, industry leaders, investors, researchers and stakeholders from across the critical raw materials value chain to explore how these developments are reshaping global markets, and what they mean for Europe’s competitiveness and industrial resilience.
The conference will examine the growing influence of geopolitics, trade policies, investment decisions and strategic dependencies on the availability, pricing and future of antimony. Discussions will also address the broader challenges facing Europe’s critical raw materials strategy and the actions needed to strengthen resilient and competitive supply chains.
The event is organised over two complementary days:
- Day 1 (24 November) – Reducing Strategic Dependencies in Global Critical Raw Materials (in collaboration with the Critical Raw Materials Alliance) will focus on Europe’s CRM strategy, geopolitical developments and policy responses.
- Day 2 (25 November) – Geopolitically Reshaped Antimony Market will examine the evolving antimony market, covering global supply and demand, investment trends, regional perspectives, and the strategic role of antimony in defence, energy transition, advanced manufacturing and other key industries.
Whether you are involved in mining, refining, manufacturing, policymaking, research or investment, Antimony Day 2026 offers a unique opportunity to network, gain valuable market insights, engage with leading international experts and help shape the future of one of the world’s most strategic critical raw materials within the broader landscape of critical raw materials essential to global industrial and energy transitions.”
