About the Forum
A premier platform for investment, trade, and strategic partnerships between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the global business community.
Our Mission
The DRC Future Harvest & Mining Production Forum is a high-level international platform dedicated to accelerating economic cooperation between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the global investment community. By convening government leaders, institutional investors, commodity traders, and development finance institutions under one roof, the Forum creates the conditions for transformative partnerships that unlock the DRC's extraordinary agricultural and mineral potential.
Our mandate is clear: to facilitate bankable offtake agreements, catalyze foreign direct investment, and advance responsible value-chain development across the DRC's most strategic sectors — from copper and cobalt to rice, coffee, and cacao.
Connect
Bridge DRC producers and government institutions with qualified international investors, off-takers, and strategic partners.
Facilitate
Structure commercially viable offtake agreements and investment frameworks that meet international due-diligence standards.
Empower
Strengthen the capacity of Congolese enterprises and cooperatives to participate competitively in global supply chains.
Forum Scope & Sectors
The Forum addresses the full spectrum of the DRC's most investable sectors, providing dedicated programming and matchmaking for each.
Mining & Critical Minerals
Copper, cobalt, lithium, tantalum, and rare-earth elements — the DRC holds the world's largest reserves of several minerals essential to the global energy transition.
Agriculture & Agribusiness
With over 80 million hectares of arable land, the DRC is positioned to become a major global supplier of rice, coffee, cacao, palm oil, and other high-demand commodities.
Energy & Power
Home to the world's largest untapped hydroelectric potential, plus significant oil and natural gas reserves capable of powering industrial-scale development.
Infrastructure & Logistics
Roads, railways, river ports, and digital connectivity — the backbone required to move agricultural and mineral products from production zones to global markets.
H.R.8310 — Bipartisan BRIDGE to DRC Act of 2024
The Forum is organized in direct alignment with the Bipartisan BRIDGE to DRC Act of 2024 (H.R.8310), landmark United States legislation that establishes a comprehensive framework for deepening economic, diplomatic, and development ties between the United States and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Provide technical assistance and institutional capacity-building to strengthen governance and the rule of law in the DRC.
