SEforALL convened a high-level roundtable, “Minerals to Manufacturing: Advancing Global South Ambitions to Build Clean Technology Value Chains.” The roundtable brought together governments, industry, development partners and financiers to discuss how countries can develop domestic clean energy technology value chains and advance their industrialization ambitions. It showcased activities from SEforALL’s Green Industrialisation Hub and findings from Nigeria’s critical minerals demand–supply assessment, led by the Council for Critical Minerals Development in the Global South. The discussion underscored the need to connect mineral resources to local manufacturing, ensuring the energy transition drives growth and opportunity in developing economies. It further identified key areas of interventions and partnerships necessary to support countries’ efforts to advance local value chain development.
