Securing America's Technology Metals Supply

Lithium, Rare Earth Elements and other technology metals are critical ingredients in the world’s most sophisticated devices, ranging from advanced weapons systems to renewable energy and clean technology applications. Despite the strategic importance of these elements, and domestic availability, America is almost entirely dependent on a few foreign sources.

TREM '10 will not be a standard industry gathering. 

TREM '10 is a gathering of senior government policy makers and influencers, technology companies from the minerals, defense, energy and automotive sectors. Together, they will discuss and change the policies that affect the way America imports, produces and uses technology metals. This is your best opportunity to influence the policies that will enhance the security and diversity of lithium, rare earth metals, and other technology metals.

You will explore and understand the implications of America's growing dependence on imported technology metals and help craft a roadmap outlining the steps to ensure their security and diversity of supply. This roadmap will be distributed to Senate, Congress and US Government agencies to help formulate policies to secure the nation's supply and enhance domestic production.
