World Economic Forum on the role of technology in scaling critical mineral supply chains

In an exclusive studio interview at World Utilities Congress 2024, Roberto Bocca, Head of the World Economic Forum’s Centre for Energy and Materials, discussed key challenges in scaling critical mineral supply chains for clean energy technologies. We also explored financial bottlenecks, strategies for enhancing public-private partnerships to increase investment in exploration and processing, and identified crucial investment areas to prevent supply chain shortages. Additionally, Bocca highlighted the role of data and digitalisation in improving transparency and efficiency within these supply chains.
