Fastmarkets launches battery raw material market webinar series

As both producers and consumers of raw materials adapt to the new normal, the market needs to find answers to some pressing questions. What will be the long-term impact? How is demand for electric vehicles affected? How have prices been affected and can we expect them to return to normal? How does the supply chain need to adjust to reduce current inefficiencies?

To help you navigate the uncertainty caused by Covid-19 we will host a series of complimentary webinars looking at the impact of Covid-19 on the battery raw material supply chain.

Join the live webinar where you willl be able to ask questions directly to our panel of experts. Register to attend any webinars that interest you even if you cannot make the time specified. We’ll send you a link afterwards to watch the recording on-demand.
