Upcoming Event

Virtual Roundtable

U.S. Critical Minerals and the Next Era of Supply-Chain Resilience 

Tue December 2, 2025

2-3 PM ET

The United States is reshaping its critical minerals strategy with new executive actions, defense-led financing tools, and trade frameworks designed to reduce reliance on foreign suppliers and secure semiconductor, EV, and electronics supply chains. As global demand increases and supply risks grow, this timely roundtable will bring together industry leaders and technology stakeholders to discuss how these policies are influencing investment decisions, reshoring efforts, and global partnerships—particularly with allies such as Australia, Japan, and Malaysia.  

 

Discussion will explore the implications for the consumer technology sector amid Section 232 tariffs, offtake agreements, and international supply-chain coordination.
