CREaTe leverages collaboration to achieve US Rare Earth Element independence.

Today, it’s nearly impossible to open a technology news feed without reading about the impact that access to Rare Earths has on the United States’ foreign policy, economy, environment, energy resources, and defense. The Departments of State, Commerce, Interior, Energy, and Defense are all looking to address Rare Earth issues and modernize/upgrade mines and broker international deals. CREaTe will champion and enable technology development, from basic research through prototypes into production, that can make a difference in the Rare Earth supply chain.

Accordingly, we are pleased to invite U.S. Government representatives, industry, and academia, to join the Consortium for Rare Earths Technologies – CREaTe. Please submit a Government Interest Form and our team will contact you!
