Following the overwhelming success of last year’s inaugural event, the Tribeca Future Facing Commodities Conference is returning to Singapore from March 26-28 with some of the biggest names across the full spectrum of the global critical minerals supply chain confirmed to be attending.
The event aims to bring together world leaders from the electric vehicle and critical minerals industries with some of the biggest names from global capital markets at one major forum in one major city. Singapore has rapidly emerged as the major hub for potential Asian investment in resource companies, particularly those focused on exploring and mining key energy transition metals such as lithium, graphite, nickel, copper and rare earths.
Dedicated expert panel sessions featuring discussions concerning ESG, sustainability and decarbonisation, as well as diversity, Asian investment, sustainable aviation fuel, and the lithium and uranium sectors, are also part of the conference agenda. Also returning in 2024 will be international lithium expert Joe Lowry, also known as ”Mr Lithium”, as one of three keynote speakers confirmed to date. Newly appointed US deputy director for battery and critical minerals Ashley Zumwalt-Forbes will also deliver a keynote address on the opening day of the conference. Another keynote speakers expected to pull a strong crowd are Henry Sanderson from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, who will provide an overview of his recently published book Volt Rush: The Winners and Losers in the Race to Go Green; and Steven Okun, one of the most knowledgeable geopolitical advisors in the region, who will be delivering a breakfast keynote address about Biden vs Trump 2.0: The Election Few People Want.
Scott Clements, Partner at Tribeca Capital, said the forum was an excellent opportunity for global companies to connect with Singaporean investors who are known for their strong appetite for ESG and the broader energy transition thematic.
“Asia has not historically been a big source of capital for resource companies, but it is becoming a very large source of investment for sustainability, decarbonisation and the energy transition – and that covers very large institutional investors all the way down to family offices, high net worth and retail investors,” Clements said.
Tribeca is the proud founding sponsor of the second annual Tribeca Future Facing Commodities Conference to be held on 26-28 March 2024 in Singapore. Blue chip regional institutions, family offices and retail investors are among those expected to attend the conference at the Raffles City Convention Centre, Fairmont Hotel, Singapore.
