About the event

The global economy runs on raw materials, but how do these essential resources shape everything from trade policies to geopolitics? This session will dive deep into the world of raw materials—from oil to rare earth metals—and explore their critical role in powering industries, fuelling conflict, and driving economic growth. As the demand for these materials increases, we’ll also discuss the environmental and ethical concerns surrounding their extraction and distribution. If you want to understand how raw materials influence modern life, this is a must-see event.
