Kick off the Global Lithium, Battery and Critical Materials Event with a focused pre-event day designed to set the strategic context for the week ahead. The programme explores the macroeconomic and geopolitical forces shaping critical materials markets through two parallel content streams covering lithium and battery raw materials market intelligence, and energy storage systems fundamentals. Sessions will examine global supply chains, key players, price dynamics, battery chemistries, energy storage manufacturing and deployment, and conclude with insight into the growing involvement of oil majors in lithium investment and supply.
