Summary

Critical minerals are in just about every device you can think of, and there’s a global race underway to find and finance the production of these materials because they’re in short supply. This week, we hear how Earth AI uses predictive algorithms to find new deposits and how TechMet’s capital and partnerships carry those opportunities through to production and market impact. We Meet: Roman Teslyuk is the CEO/CTO of EARTH AI Brian Menell is the CEO of TechMet Credits: This episode of SHIFT was produced by Jennifer Strong with help from Emma Cillekens.
