While it seems that for weeks, all eyes have been on the Presidential elections in the U.S., earlier in October, our friends of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence hosted its Washington DC Summit 2020, which brought together U.S. Government representatives and industry stakeholders to discuss materials challenges — specifically in the realm of lithium ion battery technology, as well as electric vehicle and energy storage supply chains.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) delivered the keynotes, highlighting the most recent presidential executive order on critical minerals and calling for complementary congressional action.

Benchmark Mineral Intelligence has now made highlights from the event, including the keynote addresses, available for streaming.

So if you need a break from scrolling for election updates as they trickle in from the remaining battle ground states, take a look here.
