Cobalt Blue participates in an Australian Critical Minerals Delegation to Japan, April 2023. On 17-21 April, the Australian Trade and Investment Commission hosted an Australian critical minerals business delegation to Japan (Tokyo and Osaka).
Over the course of the 5-day program, meetings were held with many of the major trading houses, battery producers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), relevant government organisations, and banks. All meetings were well received and highlight a strong interest among corporates who are dependent on battery minerals. A re-positioning of their purchasing strategies aims to address supply chain risks, the multiple implications of the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and other global legislation.
