11th Annual Mining Asia Conference & Expo Incorporates Clean Energy, Renewables & Batteries for the 2026 edition

SINGAPORE, Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Mining Asia (https://www.miningasiaconvention.com), South East Asia's largest and longest standing mining conference and exhibition showcasing the region's dynamic mining sector to an international audience of investors, industry leaders and key mining stakeholders, is returning to Singapore Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre from 23-24 June 2026. Mining Asia Conference & Expo 2026 - A Platform for Networking, Thought Leadership and Exhibition Showcase For the 2026 edition, Mining Asia expands its focus to include clean energy technologies, batteries, EVs and renewable energy within its conference themes. This evolution reflects the industry's shift towards sustainable mining practices and integration of green technologies across mining operations. Clean energy, batteries and renewables for Mining Asia The current energy transition to deliver a clean energy future – powered by renewable energy and electric vehicles - is a defining conversation of our time. For South East Asia, this transition carries particular urgency as the region faces escalating impacts of climate change, including record breaking heat waves, severe droughts and rising sea levels. Mining Asia has long been at the forefront of championing the South East Asian and wider Asian mining sector, recognizing mining's vital role as a key economic driver for the region. As the world pivots away from coal and accelerates the shift towards clean energy, critical minerals such as nickel, lithium and rare earths have become essential to reducing dependence on fossil fuels. With Asia Pacific countries such as Indonesia, China and Australia emerging as major critical minerals producers, Singapore's strategic location and reputation as a global finance hub position it as the ideal gateway for fostering investments and dialogue on clean energy, batteries and renewables. Mining Asia thus serves as the premier platform to shape the region's sustainable energy future. Attendee profile More than 70% of attendees at Mining Asia come from Asia and the Middle East while Australia, Europe and Americas make up the remaining 30%. This strong regional presence makes Mining Asia the ideal platform for international mining and energy companies seeking to connect with Asia based investors and showcase their projects to a highly targeted audience. Our investor base includes banks, institutional and private investors, all seeking new opportunities in the mining, energy and clean technology sectors. This qualified investor pool continues to grow yearly, underscoring Mining Asia's proven ability to attract new investors to the event. Daniel Radziszewski, Managing Director of Spire Events – organisers of Mining Asia since 2015 - states that "Over the past 11 years, the high quality of the speakers assembled at this event has provided insightful regional and international perspectives, leading to Mining Asia being recognised as the leading event in the region for global companies and individuals who wish to understand what makes South East Asia mining industry tick." He added, "Regular attendees at Mining Asia over the past decade have given feedback that they appreciate the diversity of conference topics, speakers and exhibitors as it provides useful opportunities to learn latest industry developments and establish new business contacts". Spaces are available for sponsors, exhibitors and delegates who wish to be a part of Mining Asia 2026. Enquiries can be sent to Daniel via email at daniel.radz@spire-events.com.

This trend reflects findings from Agoda's 2026 Travel Outlook Report, which shows that 50% of Vietnamese respondents plan to travel domestically in 2026. With nine consecutive days off during Tet – and a cultural tendency to add some annual leave to the period and extend the break - the holiday offers the ideal opportunity for Vietnamese families to reconnect, relax, and explore destinations across the country without the complexities of international travel. According to Agoda, Da Lat remains the top domestic destination for Tet 2026, showing a 44% increase in searches thanks to its cool climate and festive atmosphere. Phu Quoc has overtaken Nha Trang to secure second place with a 41% increase, appealing to travelers seeking sun, beaches, and family-friendly resorts. Nha Trang and Da Nang remain strong contenders ranking third and fourth, respectively, known for their coastal charm and diverse activities. Vung Tau rounds out the top five with a 31% increase, remaining a convenient short getaway for Ho Chi Minh City residents. For those traveling abroad, Bangkok continues to be the most favored international destination for Vietnamese travelers during Tet. Singapore rises to second place this year with a 25% increase in travel interest, replacing Tokyo, which now sits in third. Meanwhile, Hong Kong makes a notable appearance in fourth place, recording a 46% increase in Tet travel interest. Bali completes the top five, maintaining its reputation as a relaxing and culturally rich holiday spot. Vu Ngoc Lam, Country Director at Agoda Vietnam, said:"Tet is one of the most meaningful times of the year for Vietnamese travelers. With an especially long break this year, it becomes the perfect moment for families and friends to begin new journeys - whether exploring the beauty of Vietnam or venturing abroad. Agoda is delighted to support this spirit of travel by offering a seamless platform and a wide range of accommodation, flight, and activity options, helping travelers enjoy a smooth and memorable Tet holiday." With over 6 million properties, 130,000 flight routes, and 300,000 activities, all bookable in one easy itinerary, Agoda empowers Vietnamese travelers to plan their ideal Tet getaway, whether staying close to home or exploring destinations further afield.
