MINEX 2025 is starting

Hosted by İzmir Metropolitan Municipality and organized by İZFAŞ, MINEX – the 11th International Mining, Natural Resources and Technologies Fair will be held at Fuar İzmir from September 3–6, 2025. Concurrently with the fair, the IMMAT 10th International Mining Machinery and Technologies Congress, organized by the İzmir Branch of the Chamber of Mining Engineers of Türkiye (TMMOB), will also take place.

Held with the “International” designation for the first time this year, MINEX has also received the “UFI Approved International Event” certificate from the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI), becoming the only mining fair in Türkiye with this distinction. Thus, MINEX will further strengthen its credibility and global prestige in the sector, making Türkiye’s potential in mining technologies more visible on the international stage.

The bar is set even higher this year

At the previous edition, MINEX brought together a total of 16,134 professional visitors, including 1,742 international attendees from 40 countries and 14,392 domestic attendees from 55 cities. The fair, which hosted hundreds of companies, enabled the establishment of new business connections and the strengthening of existing relationships. This year, MINEX 2025 aims to surpass previous years in both exhibitor diversity and visitor numbers. Nearly a threefold increase is expected in international participation, with companies from many countries—particularly Germany, Austria, China, France, and Japan—taking part. The fair will also connect Türkiye’s domestically produced machinery and technologies with global markets. Throughout the event, a wide range of product groups will be showcased, including mining exploration, crushing, screening, drilling, hauling, ore processing, and occupational safety equipment. The visitor profile will include mining and natural stone operators, engineers, consulting firms, public institution representatives, academics, and students.

Academia and industry under one roof

Held simultaneously with MINEX, the 10th International Mining Machinery and Technologies Congress (IMMAT-2025), organized by the TMMOB Chamber of Mining Engineers İzmir Branch, will take place at Fuar İzmir. Bringing together representatives from academia and the industry, the congress will contribute to technical and scientific advancement in the field of mining. Within the scope of the congress, current developments will be presented and discussed in a scientific framework on topics such as mining operations, ore preparation and beneficiation processes, production technologies for natural stone and industrial minerals, and the machinery and equipment used in tunnel excavation.
