The International Manganese Institute (IMnI) 2026 Annual Conference took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from May 26 to 28. Lin Ye, Chairman of Qunxian Group, along with Executive Directors Shen Xianyu and Li Yue, were invited to attend the event.

    During the conference, Li Yue delivered a keynote speech addressing global industry peers. The presentation focused on the industrial upgrading and green transition of the Chinese manganese market. She shared Qunxian Group's frontline operational insights and data from three key perspectives: structural adjustments in China's manganese alloy production capacity, low-carbon pathways for smelting processes, and emerging trends within the upstream manganese ore supply chain.

    As one of the most prestigious international exchange platforms for the manganese industry, the IMnI Annual Conference rotates across continents annually, making its return to Brazil this year after a multi-year hiatus.

    Throughout the event, the Qunxian delegation engaged in a series of bilateral meetings with global representatives from mining companies, alloy manufacturers, and trading firms, exchanging strategic views on future cooperation and evolving market dynamics.
