Looking Back at GA67

The T.I.C. 67th General Assembly and Conference brought together the international tantalum and niobium community in Yinchuan, China, from 13–16 September 2026 for technical exchange, market perspectives and professional networking.

The published technical programme covered a wide range of topics, from the growing role of tantalum in AI infrastructure and advanced semiconductors to critical raw materials, responsible sourcing, recycling and emerging manufacturing technologies.

Exploring the Technical Programme

Among the materials being made available is a presentation by Dr Melanie Stenzel of TANIOBIS, exploring tantalum in next-generation AI power delivery, including energy efficiency, evolving power architectures and advances in high-voltage tantalum powders.

  • Tantalum-Niobium International Study Center (T.I.C.)
  • The T.I.C. was established in response to concerns within the tantalum industry regarding the lack of useful information on tantalum source materials. The initial purpose of the T.I.C. was to spread information about tantalum and to promote the common interest and welfare of the producers, especially with public and private authorities, organisations and agencies. Since its foundation, the T.I.C. has grown to encompass niobium and all stages of the tantalum/niobium supply chains.
