Mining and Minerals Hall (MMH) 2026 – Expo Spain

Mining and Minerals Hall (MMH) 2026 will take place from October 20 to 22, 2026, at FIBES – Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos de Sevilla in Seville, Spain. The sixth edition of the biennial international mining event will bring together mining companies, technology providers, engineering firms, public authorities, investors, research organisations and other professionals involved in the mineral raw materials value chain.

Held under the theme “Mining: A Strategic Pillar for Europe’s Future,” MMH 2026 will combine a major professional exhibition with a Scientific Congress, technical presentations, an Innovation Hub, networking activities, B2B meetings and industry discussions. The organisers have announced an exhibition area of approximately 8,500 square metres and 322 exhibiting companies from 25 countries.

The event will focus on the changing role of mining in Europe, particularly in relation to critical raw materials, energy transition, digitalisation, artificial intelligence, automation, sustainability, operational optimisation and the development of new mining projects. The Scientific Congress will provide a parallel programme covering the technical, economic, regulatory and strategic issues affecting the industry.

What to expect in 2026

MMH 2026 is designed as a three-day meeting point for the international mining industry. Visitors will find a large exhibition featuring equipment, industrial technology, engineering services, processing solutions, environmental technologies and specialist suppliers alongside a scientific and technical programme.

The organisers describe MMH as a biennial European mining event combining an exhibition, scientific congress and innovation and outreach activities. The 2026 edition will also include activities aimed at students and families, extending the event beyond its professional audience.

Key areas to expect in 2026 include:

• Mining technology: Equipment, systems and services for modern mining operations.
• Digitalisation: Artificial intelligence, automation, data and connected industrial technologies.
• Critical minerals: Discussions about Europe’s supply of strategically important raw materials.

FIBES is one of Seville’s principal exhibition and conference venues and is located in the eastern part of the city. The venue is positioned between San Pablo Airport and Santa Justa railway station, making it accessible for both domestic and international visitors.

The 2026 edition will use approximately 8,500 square metres of exhibition space. This represents an increase over the 6,432 square metres occupied during MMH 2024.

Full industry programme

The MMH 2026 programme combines the exhibition with a major Scientific Congress and technical activities. The Scientific Congress will contain 64 presentations and eight round tables, with approximately 150 experts participating across the programme, including the Innovation Hub and poster areas.

The programme is organised around three major thematic areas.

• Present and Future: The opening programme examines the mining industry’s position within the current geopolitical environment, with particular attention to critical minerals, Europe’s supply situation and the social licence to operate.
• Integrated Mining Development Model: The second day examines digital technologies, artificial intelligence, automation, the mining project life cycle, infrastructure, research and development, and legal and fiscal issues.
• Innovation and Execution: The final day focuses on investment, risk, opportunity, decarbonisation, competitiveness and responsible mine closure.

Technical presentations will run alongside the round tables, allowing visitors to move between strategic discussions and more specialised technical content.

The programme also includes presentations connected with sustainability, real mining projects, operational optimisation, digitalisation, energy transformation, infrastructure, regulation and research and innovation.

How to get there

FIBES is located at Avda. Alcalde Luis Uruñuela, 1, 41020 Seville, in the eastern part of the city.

The venue is approximately 5 kilometres from San Pablo Airport and is also close to Santa Justa railway station. FIBES can be reached by road via the SE-30 ring road and surrounding road network.

For international visitors, Seville Airport provides the most direct air connection. Visitors arriving by high-speed train can use Sevilla-Santa Justa, with onward connections available through the local Cercanías network.

FIBES is also connected to Seville’s wider public transport network, making it possible to reach the exhibition without relying on a private vehicle.

Public transport & parking

FIBES encourages visitors to use public transport and active mobility options.

• Cercanías: Line C4 serves Palacio de Congresos station, providing a direct commuter rail connection to the venue.
• Santa Justa: Visitors arriving by AVE, Avant or other long-distance services can connect from Santa Justa to the local rail network.
• TUSSAM Bus 24: Provides a connection between the city centre and the FIBES area.
• TUSSAM B4: Connects the venue area with Nervión and Gran Plaza.
• Cycling: FIBES is connected to Seville’s cycle-lane network and has access to SEVICI bicycle facilities.
• Car: The venue can be reached through the SE-30 and surrounding road network.

FIBES is specifically promoting public transport and active mobility to reduce the carbon footprint associated with event travel.

Visitors travelling by car should check the venue’s latest parking and traffic information before the event because arrangements can vary depending on other activities taking place at the exhibition centre.

Accommodation areas

Visitors attending MMH 2026 can choose accommodation in several parts of Seville depending on whether convenience, railway access or sightseeing is the priority.

• East Seville: The most convenient area for visitors who want to remain close to FIBES.
• Nervión: A well-connected business district with hotels, restaurants and public transport.
• Santa Justa: Useful for visitors arriving by high-speed train and those requiring easy rail connections.
• Seville city centre: Suitable for visitors who want to combine the professional event with sightseeing, restaurants and historic attractions.
• Airport area: Convenient for short business trips or visitors with early departures.

Because FIBES is located outside the historic centre, visitors staying near the venue can reduce daily travel time, while central accommodation provides greater access to Seville’s cultural attractions.

Accessibility

FIBES provides facilities intended to support accessible attendance. The venue’s accessibility and sustainability measures include adapted facilities and services for visitors with different mobility requirements.

Visitors should contact the venue in advance if they require specific assistance, particularly where individual arrangements or additional support may be necessary.

FIBES also promotes active mobility and accessible transport connections through the city’s public transport and cycling infrastructure. The venue’s location near the Palacio de Congresos Cercanías station provides another transport option for visitors who prefer not to drive.

Previous year’s highlights

The previous edition, MMH 2024, provided a strong foundation for the expansion planned for 2026.

FIBES reports that MMH 2024 concluded with 6,432 square metres of exhibition space, 257 exhibitors and approximately 14,600 visitors. The 2026 edition is expected to exceed these figures, with the organisers announcing 8,500 square metres and 322 exhibitors.

The official MMH website describes the 2024 edition as an important meeting point for mining companies, international professionals, institutions and innovation centres. More than 250 exhibitors and over 500 brands were represented, with international participation reaching 36 percent.

The growth of MMH has also been accompanied by greater emphasis on technology, sustainability, strategic mineral resources, international collaboration and professional networking. The 2026 edition continues this direction with a larger exhibition, a substantial Scientific Congress and dedicated innovation activities.

The expansion to 322 exhibitors from 25 countries and approximately 8,500 square metres demonstrates the scale planned for the 2026 event.
