February Monthly Meeting: "Critical Minerals and Critical Choices - Mongolia in Transition"
The AmCham February Monthly Meeting will explore the growing importance of critical minerals in the transition to clean energy, advanced technologies, and sustainable industries. As the world shifts towards greener and more innovative solutions, the strategic significance of minerals like lithium, cobalt, rare earth elements, and nickel is reshaping global policies, trade dynamics, and technological advancements. These minerals are essential for producing batteries, electric vehicles, wind turbines, and semiconductors. With surging demand, supply chain vulnerabilities and geopolitical tensions emphasize the need for secure, diversified, and sustainable sources. A key question remains: How can Mongolia position itself as a reliable supplier of these critical metals and minerals to the global market?
