Amid global market disruptions, securing supply chains for critical minerals has become a major strategic and economic priority. In this context, international partnerships based on shared values are more important than ever. Québec and the United Kingdom, with their complementary strengths in critical and strategic mineral value chains, now have a unique opportunity to deepen their economic cooperation.

Join us for this session as representatives from industry and institutions in Québec and the United Kingdom come together to explore the challenges and opportunities involved in building diversified and resilient transatlantic critical mineral supply chains.
