The Cobalt Congress is the major annual event for the cobalt industry. It is the world’s leading forum bringing together the entire cobalt and wider critical minerals value chain as well as many of the world’s largest cobalt investors to discuss the latest challenges and opportunities for the industry, both from business and political perspectives.  In the context of growing demand for critical minerals, the Cobalt Congress provides an opportunity to connect with the industry leaders and influential policy-makers to discuss the future of cobalt in the green economy.

 

This year, the Cobalt Congress will be exploring ways for “shaping the future for resilient cobalt supply”.

The era-defining shift from fossil fuels to clean energy is set to deliver an unprecedented new boom for commodities, and an opportunity for investors, as a range of critical minerals finally get the attention they deserve due to their essential role in delivering emissions-free power and transport. To meet global climate change targets, demand for minerals and metals, like cobalt, used in green technologies such as rechargeable batteries used in vehicle electrification is expected to rise exponentially, and yet these irreplaceable building blocks enabling the energy transition, are expected to be in short supply, in part due to concentration of production and processing.

 

But as the global initiative to transition away from many carbon-based forms of energy proceeds, so too does the urgency arise for sustainable sources for critical components that go into these green technologies.

 

Markets, miners, and manufacturers are assessing where, how, and when to invest. During the panel discussion Mitchell intends to emphasize how in light of cross border tariffs, a growing supercharged anti-globalism sentiment trend and the push to regionalize supply chains becoming a priority, demand for critical materials continues to grow and that this scenario provides a generational investment opportunity.  Financing compelling projects, backing strong companies and taking interests in innovative technologies involved in the industry are just a few of several strategic ways Smith plans to outline how investors can gain exposure to the growing sector and secure much needed supply for the electrified future.
