MAIN DAY ONE | WEDNESDAY, 28TH SEPTEMBER, 2022

11:50 AM PANEL DISCUSSION ON STRATEGISING HOW TO SECURE MATERIALS AT GOOD PRICES IN A CONSTRAINED SUPPLY CHAIN

EV production is ramping up, and the geopolitical situation is unpredictable. China is continuing to dominate the upstream materials and commodity market. While Europe wants to become independent and leverage recycling as a way to produce raw materials, the infrastructure is currently not in place. Until Europe reaches the point of having a circular economy, we will be heavily dependent on China. On top of that, material costs are increasing. If the costs rise any more, and if the supply chain bottlenecks don’t ease, EV manufacturers and manufacturing will be seriously affected.

This keynote panel discussion tackles this mission-critical topic, with experts discussing:

Approaches for securing raw materials, commodities and cells at the best prices
How the current supply chain issues will impact the OEM’s decision on which chemistry to select
