Xchange Canada 2027
Can Canada Build a Battery Value Chain That Scales from Critical Minerals to Circular Manufacturing?
Canada’s battery economy is entering its defining execution test. Join the critical mineral producers, battery materials companies, manufacturers, OEMs, recyclers, investors, and policymakers working to turn Canada’s mines-to-mobility opportunity into a bankable, resilient, and commercially scalable battery value chain.
The Big Question Facing Canada’s Battery Value Chain:
What Will It Take to Turn Canada’s Mineral Advantage into Bankable Battery Manufacturing, Supply Security, and Circular Recovery?
Canada’s battery opportunity has moved beyond resource potential. As critical minerals, clean power, industrial policy, automotive manufacturing, and recycling capacity converge, the focus is now on which projects can move from announcement to commercial operation.
Battery Value Chain Xchange Canada 2027 brings together the senior stakeholders working through the commercial questions that will define the sector’s next phase: project finance, permitting, materials qualification, manufacturing readiness, supply chain integration, circular recovery, and cross-border market access.
This is where the industry examines what battery value chain leadership actually requires — from mineral development and battery-grade processing to scalable manufacturing, responsible production, and long-term North American supply security.
Five Agenda Pillars Shaping Canada’s Battery Value Chain
The agenda is structured around the technical, financial, operational, infrastructure, policy, and market priorities that will determine how Canada’s battery value chain moves from strategic potential to commercial-scale execution.
Building Canada’s Critical Minerals-to-Mobility Battery Economy
Explore how Canada can connect critical minerals, refining, battery-grade materials, manufacturing, and end-market demand into an integrated battery value chain, while addressing project development, permitting, infrastructure, partnerships, and industrial strategy.
Scaling Battery Materials & Cell Manufacturing
Examine the execution requirements for scaling battery-grade materials, cells, modules, and advanced manufacturing in Canada, including production ramp-up, automation, quality control, workforce readiness, cost competitiveness, and demand flexibility across EV and energy storage markets.
Securing North American Battery Supply Chains
Assess how Canadian projects can strengthen regional battery supply security through material qualification, offtake agreements, cross-border partnerships, logistics, trade alignment, sourcing transparency, and resilient supply chain models.
Battery Recycling, Black Mass & Circular Materials
Address the commercial and technical realities of battery recycling, production scrap, black mass processing, recovered lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite, and the closed-loop partnerships needed to keep valuable materials within the North American supply chain.
Clean, Responsible & Bankable Battery Production
Explore how Canada’s clean power, ESG expectations, lifecycle emissions, traceability, permitting, Indigenous and community engagement, and capital alignment can support responsible, investment-ready battery value chain development.
The Battery Value Chain Ecosystem
Battery Value Chain Xchange Canada 2027 convenes the senior stakeholders responsible for scaling Canada’s battery economy, bringing together critical mineral producers, battery materials companies, manufacturers, OEMs, recyclers, investors, infrastructure partners, technology providers, and policymakers shaping the next phase of North American battery value chain development.
Senior executives, technical specialists, investors, policy stakeholders, and project leaders responsible for battery materials strategy, manufacturing scale-up, supply chain partnerships, recycling infrastructure, project finance, and commercial deployment.
