Mining. Dressing. Metallurgy 2026 - international expo & forum of equipment and technologies for the mining and mineral processing industry

On 18-20 March 2026, the Novosibirsk Expocentre IEC will host an international Expo & Forum of equipment and technologies for the mining and mineral processing industry.

The project's primary objective is to create a business platform for mining and metallurgical companies to communicate with the R&D community, technology companies, manufacturers and suppliers of specialist equipment and machinery, software and IT solutions.

Novosibirsk is considered one of the major R&D and educational centres in Russia, thanks largely to the Akademgorodok, which is home to institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, universities and innovative companies.

• Institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences are involved in the development of new mining technologies, mining automation, and mining waste management technologies.
• ‘Technopark’ of Akademgorodok in Novosibirsk is one of the largest science and technology centres in Russia, which actively deals with the mining industry, offering innovations, digital solutions and high-tech equipment, as well as supporting startups in the field of mining digitalisation.
• Novosibirsk universities (NSTU, NSU, SGUGiT) train geologists, geophysicists, oil and gas specialists, engineers for open pit and underground mining, and field exploration specialists.

Novosibirsk provides the industry with technology, personnel and scientific solutions; it is a think tank for the mining regions of Siberia and the whole of Russia.
