Texas A&M University, Rudder Tower, Rooms 701 and 707
401 Joe Routt Blvd, College Station, TX 77840
Conference Summary:
As global demand for clean energy and high-tech devices accelerates, the sustainable sourcing of rare earth elements (REEs) has become a critical strategic priority. This summit aims at increasing Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB) magnet recovery, reducing environmental footprints, and building a secure, domestic supply chain. It brings together industry experts, researchers and policymakers to bridge the gap between technological innovation and commercial viability in REE recovery. Join us to move beyond traditional mining, unlock the value of end-of-life electronics and accelerate the transition to a truly circular economy.
Summit Objectives:
- Explore funding, investment and commercialization opportunities
- Connect with key stakeholders across the rare earth value chain
- Build partnerships to strengthen domestic critical material supply chains
- Gain insights into market trends, industry needs and future demand for rare earth materials
- Learn the latest advances in rare earth extraction, processing, recycling and manufacturing technologies
