On Friday, 13 February, SAFE’s Center for Critical Minerals Strategy and the European Initiative for Energy Security (EIES) hosted a high-level dinner on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, ‘The Elements of an Alliance? NATO’s critical minerals imperative.’ The dinner brought together representatives from NATO and Allied governments, and leaders from the defence and minerals sectors to assess how the Alliance can deliver the greatest value in coordinating and implementing new investments in critical minerals supply chains and best align with efforts by the US, EU, G7, Allied nations, and Asian partners.
