Last year, we made history. Over 40 renowned speakers and 300 participants gathered for the 2nd Nickel Producers, Processors & Buyers Conference in Jakarta, making it the biggest nickel conference held in Indonesia, home to the world’s largest producer of nickel ore. In 2024, we're going even further.

The 3rd Nickel Producers, Processors & Buyers Conference which will be held on May 7-8, 2024 at Shangri-La Hotel, in Jakarta will bring together more CEOs from the country’s nickel mining companies, nickel smelting developers, and EV battery pioneers, together with renowned experts from overseas and Indonesia to paint the crystal-clear picture of the nickel industry in 2024 and beyond.

We expect this year's event to be even more insightful and engaging, with the following highlights:
  • More CEOs of nickel companies, nickel smelters, EV battery developers, and experts to share their insights on the future of the nickel industry in 2024, exploring the potential of Indonesia as a technology-oriented provider and its role in the booming EV market.
  • Growing application of nickel in stainless steel and EV batteries as Indonesia, the largest automobile market in Southeast Asia, is utilizing its resource advantage and exploring opportunities in the battery and EV industry.
  • The significant opportunities of Indonesia's Integrated Digital Services (SIMBARA) system to improve mineral and coal governance, particularly in nickel traceability.
  • Indonesia's position as the largest exporter of nickel matte and MHP: As the world's largest producer of nickel ore, Indonesia is poised to continue its dominance in the global nickel market.
