Event Details

Critical minerals and materials are vital for a wide range of industries, including aerospace, health care, and defense. They are also key inputs to many clean energy technologies, including solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicle batteries, and energy storage technologies. (energy.gov)



The American Malaysian Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM) is hosting a pivotal business forum to better understand and navigate the complexities of critical minerals - the materials and resources vital to our digitally driven economy. As the backbone of digital, advanced manufacturing, and green technology, the extraction and refining of critical minerals and rare earths is essential for growth and demands scrutiny for sustainable and responsible practices.


This Business Forum brings together experts, industry leaders, and policymakers to look at opportunities and provide frameworks to develop and grow a Malaysian critical minerals industry while providing adequate guidelines to safeguard our environment and foster long-term strategic growth.


This hybrid platform will include experts on sustainability and stewardship, legal and regulatory environment, policy, and advanced industries, delve into pressing issues, and provide an opportunity for discourse on the critical minerals opportunity in an increasingly competitive market.

This session includes approaches from businesses and government on the key opportunities in the critical minerals space.
