Critical metals (and broader strategic metals) are used in many applications, technologies, products, and processes that important to support our green economy and energy transition from fossil fuels to cleaner sources. Australia and Indonesia have both primary and secondary resources to supply regional and global critical metals. In terms of primary resources for battery, Indonesia holds the world’s largest nickel reserves (21 million tonnes), while Australia is the largest global lithium producer (47%).

Funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Australia, through the Australia-Indonesia Institute, this symposium will bring together key experts, institutions and stakeholders from Australia, Indonesia, and other countries, to showcase works/research, share knowledge and experiences to contribute to the overall effort to secure critical metals and their supply chain.

We look forward to seeing you in July 2024.
