2024 Agenda Sessions

Disruptive Discussion

What does a successful business relationship between car manufacturers and African miners look like?

The rise of relationships between car manufacturers and miners is increasing to reduce limited security of supply of transition minerals needed to build electric vehicles. But two global businesses have very different operating parameters and business models – how do they align?
Human rights are a top priority for global OEMs – are mining companies doing enough to ensure this is never compromised?
How can African miners educate global businesses on the nuances of operating in Africa?
Sharing success stories – the key to finding alignment between global and local stakeholders

Disruptors Stage Africa/Johannesburg

BloombergNEF Roundtable: Harnessing Africa's Critical Minerals Potential (By invitation only)

The transition to electric vehicles is a $7 trillion opportunity for both companies and countries. Building the batteries to power these vehicles will drive demand for metals such as cobalt, copper, nickel and lithium. Countries such as South Africa, Morocco, Ghana and Tanzania are host to the metals needed to manufacture these batteries. This technical session, run by BNEF, will delve into how African countries can harness this $7 trillion opportunity with key focus on capital raising, sustainability, community engagement, value addition and skills development.
