Our new annual conference brings together experts from the industry, banks, investors, press and government representatives and other stakeholders to discuss the future of gold, silver and the platinum group metals.

Our vision

Precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum metals have fascinated mankind for thousands of years. Whether as a store of value and asset insurance, as jewelry and decorative materials or, more recently, as indispensable technology metals, our world would be a different place without precious metals.

The center of Europe with Germany, Switzerland and Austria has always been an important global center for precious metal processing, precious metal trading, precious metal investments and the industrial use of precious metals.

With the Precious Metals FutureForum, we want to create a unique platform where the most diverse groups from our region involved with precious metals can meet once a year in Frankfurt, exchange ideas and work together on a positive future for gold & co.

In this way, we want to ensure that precious metals continue to stand for a technology-driven, sustainable future and that they contribute to strengthening progress and prosperity in our region on a wide variety of levels.

Become part of the story!

The world of precious metals is more diverse than almost any other industry in the world. The world of gold, silver and the six platinum metals ranges from mining companies all over the world, which extract the ore from depths of up to 4,000 meters, to processors, industrial users and recycling companies, to banks, traders, financial product developers, stock exchanges and investors. In addition, there are other stakeholders such as central banks, universities, public authorities, journalists and NGOs.

In the industrial and financial sector, the spectrum ranges from global corporations with hundreds of thousands of employees to medium-sized, owner-managed companies and small, private but highly specialized companies.

The DACH region plays an extremely important role in the context of the global precious metals industry and we have created the Precious Metals FutureForum as a platform for networking, learning from each other and discussing for all those who live here and are involved with precious metals in some way.
