Rare Earth Mines, Magnets & Motors 2025
Executive summit with a mine-to-OEM focus
With China recently imposing stringent export controls, this two-day congress offers a unique, one-stop opportunity for end-users to hear from and connect with leading players from alternative and emerging rare earth supply chains.
Expect world-class speakers, actionable insights and unmatched networking opportunities.
Key topics to be explored:
• Outlook for robotics and automation
• How advanced air mobility is revolutionizing air travel and defense
• How leading EV makers are future-proofing supply chains
• Implications for motor, magnet and rare earths demand
• Updates from emerging suppliers across the mine-to-magnet supply chain
• Tariffs, trade wars and rare earth prices
• Much more...
The conference will showcase cutting-edge applications of rare earth permanent magnets including a prototype of Horizon Aircraft’s Cavorite X7 on-site and a live demonstration of Boston Dynamics’ Spot.
Outside the scope of the daily conference program, there will be two networking events, including a private Welcome Reception at the Hockey Hall of Fame, to ensure ample time for participants to connect.
