12:20 – 13:00<\/span>\u00a0| PANEL | Pivoting Africa\u2019s Mineral Industrial Policy<\/h5>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”5px”][vc_column_text]Pivoting Africa’s mineral industrial policy to support battery manufacturing represents a strategic opportunity for the continent to leverage its vast mineral resources, such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which are essential for battery production. By focusing on developing a robust battery manufacturing sector, African nations can add significant value to their raw materials rather than merely exporting them, fostering industrialization and economic growth. This shift would involve establishing policies that encourage investment in battery manufacturing facilities, supporting research and development, and creating a skilled workforce capable of driving innovation in this field. However, the transition also poses challenges, such as the need for substantial infrastructure development, addressing environmental and social impacts of mining, and navigating global competition in the rapidly evolving battery market. Successful implementation of this policy pivot could position Africa as a key player in the global supply chain for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage, contributing to both economic diversification and sustainable development on the continent.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1725273101617{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 22px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/naamsa.net\/saaw2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/naamsa-bg-title.png?id=1100) !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
