Invitation
The International Bauxite, Alumina & Aluminium Society (BAAS), inassociation with the Vietnam Foundry and Metallurgy Science andTechnology Association (VFMSTA), is pleased to announce the 15thInternational Bauxite, Alumina, Aluminium Conference & Exhibition(IBAAs-vFMsTA 2026) to be held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, during0ctober 28-30,2026.
Vietnam is rapidly emerging as a strategic Centre for the aluminium andcritical minerals, supported by its abundant bauxite resources and theincreasing potcntial to extract valuable clemcnts-such as gallium,vanadium, scandium and others from bauxite, alumina process streams,red mud (bauxite residue), and associated mineral deposits, These criticalminerals are essential for high-tech industries, renewable energytechnologies, EV batteries, aerospace, and national security supply chains.As the world transitions toward cleaner energy and advancedmanufacturing, Vietnam's resource base, strategic location, and growingtechnological capabilities position it as a rising leader in both aluminiumand critical minerals development.
IBAAS-VFMSTA 2026 will offer a world-class platform for industry leaders,researchers, investors, and technology providers to explore opportunities inaluminium, critical minerals extraction, sustainability, digitaltransformation, and industrial innovation. The event will feature technicalsessions, an international exhibition, and networking forums designed tobuild global partnerships and strengthen the entire aluminium-criticalminerals value chain.
We warmly invite you to participate in this landmark event and contributein shaping the future of aluminium and critical minerals
