Rare Earth Elements Industry Landscape Report Webinar

New report: where the U.S. stands on rare earth capacity and where manufacturers fit in.

Rare earth elements are embedded in nearly every critical system the U.S. depends on, from defense platforms and semiconductors to electric motors and renewable energy technologies. Yet the global supply chain for processing and converting these materials remains heavily concentrated overseas, leaving American manufacturers and national security exposed to disruption.

Join DVIRC’s Sylvia Wower (COO), Gunner Spain (Next Generation Defense Systems Analyst), and Strategic Partner Matt Cordes as they present findings from DVIRC’s new Rare Earth Elements Industry Landscape Report and break down what this supply chain challenge means for manufacturers in Pennsylvania and across the country.

You’ll learn:

• Where the U.S. stands on domestic rare earth processing and why access to raw ore alone isn’t enough
• Which industries and defense programs are most exposed to supply chain concentration overseas
• What policy and investment signals are pointing toward domestic capacity expansion
• How small and mid-sized manufacturers can position themselves in the emerging rare earth supply chain

Who should attend:

• Manufacturers in defense, electronics, energy, and advanced materials
• Economic development and workforce organizations
• MEP centers and industrial resource networks
• Supply chain and procurement professionals
