Accelerating Innovation in Critical Minerals – A2D Facility Market Assessment Launch

Watch the webinar.

CCSI’s Martin Dietrich Brauch presented at this webinar, co-hosted by CCSI, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and Columbia’s Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, on a new, large-scale market assessment focused on innovation in Critical Minerals in developing countries. Commissioned by UNIDO’s Accelerate-to-Demonstrate (A2D) Facility, the assessment covers various dimensions. It maps out key policies, innovators, technologies, stakeholders, and initiatives in technological innovation in critical minerals value chains. It also identifies specific projects and countries with the potential for such technologies, the financial delivery mechanisms by which investment and expertise will be carried out to them, and the potential impacts of the technologies on the achievement of key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This assessment focuses on the mid- and downstream segments of critical minerals value chains.
