Critical Minerals Innovation Forum

London, UK

Where do we stand? An honest assessment of progress, pressure and what comes next

Plenary
Back to agenda

Responsible sourcing in critical minerals has never been higher on the agenda. But how much has actually changed? This session sets the tone for two days of honest, practical conversation, taking stock of where the sector has made genuine progress, where it is falling short, and what the pressure points are that will define the next chapter.

Plenary

What to expect from this type of session...

Main stage sessions, but not as you know them. Because we’re off-the-record, leading experts can speak candidly about their experience with what works, and what doesn’t. At least half the session is dedicated to audience insights and questions to ensure we tackle the big issues head on.
