Mining Mavericks: Uncommon Market Partnerships Driving the EV Era

Sep 20, 2023

If creativity is connecting things, then how about market partnerships?

The transition to a world filled with EVs is well underway but the challenges of accessing and securing the critical minerals for EV batteries at pace requires organisations in the supply chain to adopt new ways of operating to meet the needs of consumers.

Here on Candid Conversations we talk to changemakers about what is happening in their industry right now. In this episode you’ll hear from Carrie Grimes and Alex White, Partners in Deloitte Australia’s Climate and Engineering and Mergers and Acquisitions practice respectively, as their unique partnership has brought new ways of thinking about the very ways mining organisations and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) operate and align to overcome these challenges.

They deep dive into:

• The complexities and challenges of turning critical minerals into EV batteries
• How strategic solutions are a must in ensuring a sustainable supply chain for critical minerals
• The role of M&A and business model transformation for mining and OEM organisations
• Why market partnerships and strategic alignment between diverse organisations is key to transitioning to net zero and beyond.
