The 2025 Nordic Funds & Mines Summit has once again proven why it stands as the leading investment platform for the mining and metals industry in Northern Europe. Held on October 8–9 at Hotel At Six in Stockholm, this year’s edition broke all previous records — drawing over 500 participants, facilitating more than 1,000 one-on-one meetings, and reaching 15,000 subscribers, 250,000 website visitors, and over half a million social media views.
With 53 mining companies and over 100 institutional investors in attendance, the summit showcased the growing global attention on Scandinavia as a premier region for mining investment, innovation, and sustainability.
Uniting the Global Mining Investment Community
From the moment the summit began, the atmosphere was charged with opportunity. Investors, fund managers, analysts, and corporate leaders from around the world gathered to connect, exchange insights, and identify new ventures across commodities, technology, and critical materials.
Thirty-seven company presentations were delivered live on the main stage and streamed globally through the Nordic Funds platform, each averaging over 1,000 live viewers — amplifying company visibility and engagement far beyond the room.
As one participant noted, “Two days of excellent investor and potential investor meetings at a very well-organized and executed conference.”
Visionary Keynotes and Global Perspectives
This year’s keynote speakers provided both perspective and inspiration.
Peter Krauth, Author of The Great Silver Bull, opened the discussions with a sharp analysis of structural shifts within the silver market and its long-term outlook.
Eric Strand, Portfolio Manager & Founder of AuAg Funds, examined how macroeconomic trends and monetary dynamics are reshaping investment strategies in precious metals.
Closing the summit, Rob McEwen, Executive Chairman & Chief Owner of McEwen Inc., delivered an energizing keynote on innovation, leadership, and the long-term creation of value across the mining industry.
Together, their insights framed the event’s overarching narrative — one of resilience, innovation, and opportunity in a rapidly evolving global market.
Thought-Leading Panels
The “Future of Precious Metals” panel, featuring Eric Strand (AuAg Funds), Peter Krauth, John A. McCluskey (Alamos Gold), Keith Neumeyer (First Majestic Silver), and Benoît La Salle (Aya Gold & Silver), offered one of the summit’s most anticipated discussions.
Panelists examined the gold–silver ratio, inflation pressures, and the strategic positioning of metals amid changing global capital flows.
The “Nordic Mining Region” panel, with Russell Bradford (First Nordic Metals), Peter George (Arctic Minerals), Chris Donaldson (Valkea Resources), Noora Ahola (Mawson Finland Limited), and Ivar Fossum (Nordic Mining Advisor), focused on how the Nordics’ strong institutional frameworks, ESG excellence, and technological leadership are setting a new global benchmark for sustainable mining.
As one industry representative summarized:
“My sincere thanks to the Nordic Funds & Mines organizers for providing such a valuable space for dialogue and to all participants for the insightful discussions about the future of copper and sustainable mining.”
Networking, Partnerships, and Scandinavian Ambiance
Beyond the panels and presentations, the summit’s heart lay in its connections. The packed schedule of 1:1 investor meetings created tangible opportunities for cooperation and new ventures. The networking dinner and rooftop reception — complete with live performances by Karin Gunnars and Seth Engström — captured the event’s uniquely Scandinavian character: professional, engaging, and warmly social.
Attendees praised the format for its balance of business and atmosphere, where genuine partnerships were built in an environment of openness and collaboration.
A Global Stage for the Nordic Mining Story
The 2025 Summit reached global audiences through extensive media coverage and live streaming. With more than half a million social media impressions, the event once again extended its influence far beyond Stockholm, amplifying the Nordic mining story to investors, innovators, and policymakers worldwide.
The event has become a true hub for exchange — where companies meet capital, and ideas meet execution.
Looking Ahead
The Nordic Funds & Mines Summit 2025 set a new standard for mining investment events — larger in scale, richer in content, and stronger in outcomes than ever before.
After another record-breaking year, Nordic Funds & Mines will return to Stockholm in 2026, continuing our mission to connect investors, innovators, and leaders driving the future of mining, metals, and energy transition.
As anticipation builds, one thing remains clear: the summit continues to be “The Gateway to Mining Networking in Scandinavia.”
