Twenty years - a milestone marking the growth of an industry, technological transformation and expanding international cooperation. Uzbekistan has rich mineral resources and has pursued the development and modernisation of its mining and metals industries since independence. MiningMetals Uzbekistan was established to support these ambitions. It is a platform that gave domestic companies a direct access to advanced technologies, international expertise and opportunities to work with international companies. Over the past two decades, the exhibition has grown alongside the industry by responding to its needs and supporting its drive to upgrade technology and improve production efficiency.

Exhibition's record over 20 years demonstrates its importance and enduring appeal. During this period, it has brought together 1,723 companies and brands from 41 countries and welcomed 79,827 industry professionals.

MiningMetals Uzbekistan remains to be a leading meeting place for the mining, metals and mechanical engineering industries. Here the companies showcase their equipment and technologies, find partners and discuss opportunities to develop their businesses, while the growing international participation reflects interest in Uzbekistan's industrial potential.

This year's exhibition will demonstrate solutions and innovations from 163 companies and brands from 19 countries, including: Azerbaijan, Australia, the Republic of Belarus, Canada, China, Estonia, Finland, Germany, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, the Republic of Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Tajikistan, Türkiye and Uzbekistan. Their participation continues the international industry dialogue that began two decades ago.

MiningMetals Uzbekistan 2026 will cover the main stages of the production cycle: from drilling and extraction to mineral processing, metallurgy and digital production management. The focus will be on technologies that improve productivity, equipment reliability, energy efficiency and safety of production processes.

Drilling and mining solutions will feature prominently, alongside modern technologies for blasting, underground development, ore crushing and processing, as well as equipment for transporting raw materials and equipping industrial facilities. Digital tools will also be on display for geological modelling, mine fleet management, production process automation and equipment monitoring.

Laboratory and analytical solutions for testing mineral raw materials and monitoring product quality will form a dedicated part of the exhibition. Industrial cooling, ventilation and dust extraction equipment will also be on display, together with materials and components protecting equipment against corrosion and abrasive wear.

Visitors will explore industrial equipment, including various models of drilling rigs, a laboratory roller press for materials processing and industrial cooling systems. They will see the design features and specifications of these solutions and discuss their potential use with company representatives.
