Innovation for Materials Security in Volatile Times

Materials security has become a critical concern as supply chains grow increasingly fragile. With geopolitical tensions, export restrictions, and rising demand tightening access to key inputs, companies face growing risks to business continuity and operational resilience. In this environment, it is no longer sufficient to know what materials are required — companies must also understand how to secure them reliably or replace them entirely. This challenge calls for a forward-looking strategy that integrates innovation across both materials development and manufacturing practices.   

This webinar draws on Lux’s Raw Materials Criticality Framework to outline four innovation strategies that help mitigate supply risk and strengthen resource security.
