Innovating Mining for the Energy Transition: Interventions to Accelerate Global Ecosystems

Online event

About this Event

Critical minerals like lithium, copper, and nickel are the backbone of clean technologies—and demand is surging. But the mining innovation needed to meet this demand remains unevenly distributed, underfunded in key areas, and disconnected from some of the places where resources are most abundant.

This webinar will explore how innovation ecosystems unlock more equitable, efficient, and sustainable mining solutions—and how stakeholders can help build them. Drawing on new research and interviews across four continents, we will discuss actionable interventions tailored to local contexts.

We’ll cover:

• An overview of global mining innovation investment trends and ecosystem support structures

• Country-level ecosystem deep dives for Chile, South Africa, Zambia, and Indonesia, including the strengths these ecosystems offer and barriers preventing them from reaching their full potential

• A high-level review of what leading global mining hubs and test centers are doing right

• Strategic recommendations for how philanthropy and other stakeholders can strengthen innovation ecosystems and help build resilient communities in resource-rich countries
