MASS SCALE LITHIUM ION BATTERY PRODUCTION IS THE
MEGATREND OF OUR TIMES
Benchmark is delighted to announce the return of Giga Asia Pacific - where the region’s government, industry and finance will meet to chart a course for the global lithium ion economy, from mine to electric vehicle.
We are excited to announce Perth as host city: home to one of the most important raw materials hubs for the lithium ion battery and EV supply chain.

- Shifting thinking from GWh to TWh for true Net Zero by 2050: Charting the rise of battery gigafactories in the Asia Pacific
- Innovation in the chemistry and design from the cell pack to the anodes, cathodes, and how this will impact the critical materials required
- Regional Gigafactory expansion considerations: site location, size, technology, ESG, circularity and partnerships required
- Building sustainable battery supply chains from the mine site onwards: decarbonised operations, managing environmental & social impacts, and good corporate governance
- Challenges and risks related to battery storage for renewable energy
- Understanding the lithium ion battery ecosystem: What is the role of OEMs and Tier One suppliers, in the race to build secure and sustainable supply chains?
- Developing Speciality Commodities: What does this mean for the critical minerals of lithium, graphite, cobalt, nickel, manganese, and silicon?
- Aligning policy, finance and global partnerships to strengthen the energy and green mobility future of the Asia Pacific
- Views from across the region: China, Korea, Australia, India, Indonesia
- Risk and reward: building Rare Earths mine and refining capacity
