Benefits of Attending

Korean battery and materials companies face intensifying pressure: competition from integrated Chinese supply chains, rising localisation requirements, and the challenge of securing feedstock at a cost that protects margins.

• Meet Southeast Asian policymakers shaping industrial strategy, incentives and market access
• Assess processing, refining and recycling projects seeking partners, capital and long-term offtake
• Understand how OEMs and battery manufacturers are securing feedstock while managing cost and margin pressure
• Evaluate how regulation, localisation policies and trade flows are impacting compliance and access to materials
• Shape decisions on feedstock sourcing, partnerships or supply chain strategy before positions are set

For Australian producers, the challenge is no longer extraction — it is how to diversify downstream pathways, secure access to conversion capacity, and strengthen control over where value is realised. A significant share of lithium production is still processed offshore.

• Meet refiners, processors and manufacturers securing long-term feedstock and partnership agreements
• Assess new processing and conversion capacity emerging across Southeast Asia
• Understand how upstream producers are structuring downstream partnerships and offtake
• Engage with OEMs and buyers shaping demand, pricing and long-term supply routes
• Evaluate downstream participation opportunities before supply routes and agreements are established

For Chinese battery materials producers, manufacturers and recyclers, the focus is shifting from domestic scale to regional expansion — where to grow across Southeast Asia while maintaining cost competitiveness and supply chain control.

• Meet Southeast Asian policymakers and partners supporting industrial development and market entry
• Assess new processing, recycling and manufacturing opportunities across the region
• Understand how leading companies are structuring regional expansion and joint ventures
• Engage with OEMs, manufacturers and buyers shaping demand across Southeast Asia
• Identify which markets offer the strongest combination of cost, policy support and market access

For Japanese companies, the challenge is no longer access — it is securing supply early enough, and on competitive enough terms, to remain competitive. Supply is increasingly being secured through long-term offtake, JVs and integrated processing, particularly across lithium, nickel and recycled materials.

• Meet Southeast Asian policymakers shaping industrial strategy and market access
• Assess processing, refining and recycling projects seeking capital, partners and offtake
• Understand how OEMs and refiners are securing supply and structuring procurement
• Evaluate how regulation and black mass flows are impacting access to materials
• Engage while sourcing, partnership and capital deployment decisions are still being formed

For investors, traders and supply chain players based in Singapore, the challenge is no longer access to opportunities — it is understanding which projects will secure demand, attract partners and ultimately deliver. Capital is not absent; it is selective.

• Meet project developers, recyclers, producers and refiners seeking capital, partners and offtake
• Understand how investors and operators are assessing risk and structuring deals
• Assess which projects and recycling operations across Southeast Asia are progressing
• Engage with OEMs and buyers shaping demand, feedstock access and project viability
• Shape investment decisions around offtake visibility, partner strength and execution risk

For Indonesian producers, the focus is shifting from growth to securing long-term demand and structuring offtake on viable terms. Nickel and broader battery materials capacity has scaled rapidly, but buyers are becoming more selective — on pricing, ESG requirements and long-term agreements.

• Meet OEMs, battery manufacturers and refiners actively securing long-term supply and negotiating offtake
• Understand how buyers are structuring contracts, pricing and procurement across Southeast Asia
• Assess which projects and partnerships are delivering viable, bankable demand
• Engage with investors evaluating Indonesia’s next phase of battery materials growth
• Shape commercial terms while they are still being formed, not respond once they are set
