As the global race for critical minerals accelerates, Brazil is uniquely positioned to transform its abundant geological resources into a strategic role in the energy transition. The Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce is pleased to host a webinar exploring Brazil’s opportunity to become a more prominent player in global critical mineral and energy transition supply chains, examining both the country’s significant potential and the steps needed to translate that potential into global leadership.
Our distinguished panel of experts will discuss the rapidly evolving global landscape for critical minerals and the opportunities it presents for Brazil; the new National Policy on Critical and Strategic Minerals (Política Nacional de Minerais Críticos e Estratégicos), including its priorities and implications; and what is needed for Brazil to expand its role in the global energy transition, including the conditions required to attract investment, strengthen participation across the value chain, and deepen international partnerships.
Please join us for an engaging discussion on Brazil’s path from geological potential to global leadership in the energy transition.
