critical and battery raw materials. The Nordic region is very well placed for production of the materials essential for a transition to renewable
energies and electrification.

Sweden
, we are happy
to take a long-term industry view and add our voice to improving the system for all stakeholders through Svemin.
Sweden
has a long history of raw
material extraction and innovation, and the recent surging demand for critical and battery raw materials provides an excellent opportunity for
Sweden
to remain an industry leader. Leading Edge Materials is proud to be at the forefront of the renewable energy and electrification transition."
