Meet Our Featured Speakers

The EV battery industry is expanding rapidly, driven by the global push for decarbonisation and the electrification of transport. Demand for battery minerals is projected to surge, with analysts estimating the market for lithium, nickel, cobalt, and other essential minerals will exceed AUD$1.2 trillion by 2050. Companies across the supply chain, including mining and battery manufacturing, are scaling up operations to meet this demand. However, supply chain risks remain a major concern, fuelled by geopolitical tensions, trade restrictions, and volatile market conditions.

Building a robust and sustainable supply chain is a key priority, with major stakeholders working to mitigate risks and secure long-term supply agreements. The industry is at a pivotal point, where strategies to optimise costs and reduce environmental impact will be critical to future success. From upstream exploration to battery recycling, the sector is helping to redefine the landscape of modern energy storage.

Securing a Resilient Battery Supply Chain

The rapid pace of technology adoption demands innovative strategies to secure a stable supply of battery minerals. Investments in sustainable mining, efficient refining methods, and advanced recycling infrastructure are essential to lowering the carbon footprint of battery production. The industry is shifting beyond traditional sourcing models, increasingly turning to secondary sources such as battery recycling to reduce reliance on newly mined materials.

The future of EV batteries hinges on improving efficiency, increasing productivity, and driving innovation. As the world transitions to a low-carbon economy, supply chain security will continue to be a key factor in the industry’s success. The Battery Minerals Australia 2026 will serve as a premier platform to explore the evolving landscape of policy- and technology-led developments in the EV battery sector.
