Mendoza is preparing for the Andean Capital Forum (ACF), which will be held from April 20 to 22, 2026, further consolidating its position as a strategic platform connecting mining projects, international financing and key players within the productive ecosystem.
Ahead of the event, the program includes high-level technical training sessions, including a workshop with the London Metal Exchange focused on price dynamics, market volatility and hedging strategies, as well as a seminar on the technical and financial fundamentals of mining developed in partnership with the University of Toronto.
These activities reinforce Mendoza’s positioning not only as an investment destination, but also as a center for generating knowledge applied to project development.
The forum will bring together governments, mining companies, investors, capital markets and strategic suppliers to address the challenges associated with financing and developing copper, lithium and critical minerals projects essential to the energy transition.
The Andean Capital Forum is part of the broader Andean Bridge initiative, a platform promoted by the Government of Mendoza together with Impulsa Mendoza, IN-VR, the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), BYMA and the Mendoza Stock Exchange, aimed at connecting mining projects across the Andean region with international capital markets.
