In an article for The Hub, Future Materials Alliance Director Richard Hiller explores why Canada must build more midstream processing capacity and strengthen a critical minerals-to-materials value chain, rather than exporting raw resources for others to refine and manufacture.

We've officially launched the Future Materials Alliance - a new coalition to accelerate the sustainable integration of Western and Northern Canada into critical materials supply chains. The Future Materials Alliance is founded on a simple premise: no single organization or policy can unlock Canada's critical materials opportunity alone. Coordination is the fastest path from strategy to execution.
