SECURING CRITICAL MINERALS SUPPLY CHAINS FOR THE AEROSPACE & DEFENCE SECTORS
3 June | 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Against a backdrop of soaring global demand and complex supply chains, securing a reliable supply of responsibly mined Critical Minerals and navigating an ESG-compliant passage from mine-to-metal is becoming recognised as an increasingly challenging task for international manufacturers, and their national governments.
Because Australia is a leading global supplier of a broad range of such critical minerals and has the resource potential to scale up to meet this rising global demand, ADS have been collaborating with the Australian Trade and Investment Commission in London (Austrade) on the above topic for the past two years to raise awareness of the potential future supply failings and to bridge the gaps between all participants in the process.
As part of this collaboration, ADS and Austrade is seeking to organise an “Aerospace and Defence Critical Minerals Engagement Event” at Australia House, London on Monday 3rd June 2024 for UK firms to engage with an Australian delegation of Critical Minerals Producers representing a wide range of minerals crucial for our sectors, including: Cobalt, Graphite and Rare-Earths.
This will be a FREE-TO-PARTICIPATE event for Representatives of North West Aerospace Alliance Members as well as their supply chain partners who are responsible for critical minerals and metals supply chains.
Timings are to be confirmed but the event is likely to be in the early afternoon. There will also be a FREE-TO-PARTICIPATE Critical Minerals Evening Drinks Reception at Australia House taking place from 1800hrs to which Engagement Event participants can return to attend.
To register your interest in attending this event or to obtain further information, Members and their partners should email: london@austrade.gov.au
