Calling all Speakers
The Asia-Pacific Deep Sea Mining Summit 2023 is seeking presentations that focus on the following topics:
- The economic landscape and growth for deep-sea mining
- Achieving sustainable seabed mining projects in harmony with nature
- New exploration and mining projects underway, and the latest frontline feedback
- Regional opportunities to harvest Seafloor Massive Sulphides, and Manganese Nodules
- Working with nations through a regulatory framework, the opportunities and risks
- Technological developments associated with commercializing deep-sea mining
As we move into an era of mining the deep-ocean floor, the world’s most remote and ecologically diverse environment, industry stakeholders are working on overcoming the perceived environmental challenges, and island nations and international regulators are developing new framework agreements and engaging with interest. As the demand for base metals and rare earth minerals surges ever beyond what our land can provide, new technological and technical developments are helping to drive forward this new industry.
Both private and government-sponsored seabed minerals exploration projects are ongoing in efforts to respond to this ever-increasing demand. The International Seabed Authority has awarded 26 licenses for seabed minerals exploration. As new technological solutions are utilised for deep-sea mining, we anticipate new commercial operations to develop further in the near term.
The Deep Sea Mining Summit comes to the Asia-Pacific region with a unique and timely focus on “forming partnerships”. This particular session will be an opportunity for the region to meet with industry stakeholders to address the current issues.
Be a part of our multi-disciplined agenda
The Asia-Pacific Deep Sea Mining Summit 2023 will be an opportunity for professionals engaged in relevant disciplines to report on their accomplishments and exchange views. The summit will have a unique emphasis on networking and building new relationships, including generating dialogue in technical know-how and finding new solutions for this emerging sector. There will also be an opportunity to integrate with allied industries and the investment community by demonstrating an insight into this emerging sector for mutual benefit.
Presentations that focus on the challenges facing the deep sea mining sector, particularly an update on recent environmental and regulatory developments, are most welcomed, along with other relevant topics of timely interest.
Please consider participating in what is certain to be a highly productive experience with an opportunity to collaborate with industry experts in this fast-developing market.
