Connecting government, investors, and industry to drive domestic critical minerals development
Why You Should Be in the Room

Why This Matters Now
National security concerns are driving a fundamental shift in North America’s critical minerals supply chain.
But key questions remain:
-
What funding and grants are actually available?
-
How are they being deployed?
-
How is private capital responding?
This summit is designed to answer those questions—and turn them into action.
