Clifford Chance, 10, London, England, E14 5NP, United Kingdom.

Turning geopolitical tides have placed critical resources — metals, materials, and energy — at the center of national security and global economic strategy. Building secure, value-added supply chains for these resources now requires coordination across governments, industry, and capital markets — and an honest accounting of how much work remains to strengthen the Western world’s mining, processing, and energy capabilities.

The Convergence Summit London 2026 takes a deep dive into the forces reshaping demand for critical resources — and the response from capital, policy, and industry.

Through focused panels, presentations, and fireside chats, the forum will map the current landscape across sectors and chart a course for how Western governments and industry can build the infrastructure needed to secure their economic future.

The purpose of this event is to inform, connect, and frame a narrative for an entire ecosystem — from the hyperscalers, data centres, and defense contractors driving demand, to the miners, processors, and energy companies meeting it.
