Highlights from the Critical Minerals Innovation Forum

A taster of what it's like to attend one of our Critical Minerals Innovation Forum, to discuss how to build capacity and resilience in critical mineral supply.

The Critical Minerals Innovation Forum brought together the full value chain from lithium and cobalt mining, processing and refining to battery manufacturing, automotive, electronics and renewables for two days of PowerPoint-free discussions and collaborative problem-solving in London.

This highlights video captures the essential conversations that shaped the event, showcasing how industry leaders and ESG experts across sectors are tackling the urgent challenges of building sustainable, resilient battery metals and rare earth supply chains for the energy transition.

The conference addressed pressing issues including supply chain due diligence, resilience and security, decarbonising mineral extraction and processing, managing human rights and environmental risks across sourcing landscapes, and integrating circular economy and recycling principles to increase recycled material uptake. Attendees engaged with real-world case studies on supply chain realities in key producer countries, debated whether full traceability is achievable, and explored community engagement best practices in critical mineral supply chains.

Whether you attended or missed the event, this video provides valuable industry insights and innovation strategies into where the critical minerals sector is heading and how cross-sector collaboration is shaping more responsible and transparent supply chains.
