About
A focused forum on the next phase of U.S. critical minerals strategy, combining policy priorities for 2027 with Fastmarkets’ independent market outlook. Themes include building secure U.S. supply through domestic mining, processing and refining; turning policy into investment by examining industrial policy, government support, market conditions, capital allocation and commercial development; materials for national security, including defense and aerospace demand, sourcing and domestic capability; and competing in a global market amid shifting trade relationships, geopolitical risk and international competition. The briefing brings together federal policymakers, critical minerals producers and processors, defense and aerospace leaders, investors and industrial buyers. Discussion also covers overseas processing dependence, commercial viability of domestic projects, trade policy, private capital, prices, supply, demand, market fundamentals, procurement, project economics and security of supply.
