Innova's Co-Founders, Kamelia Giles and Matt Desroches, are excited to be joining the esteemed CDL-Vancouver Minerals Stream for the 2024 - 2025 cohort to work with the best of the best in the critical minerals space.
Innova is extremely honored to have the opportunity to work with minerals experts who will help support and implement the company's go-to-market strategy for the valuable graphite produced from its proprietary technology.
"The graphite market is projected to reach US$44B by 2030 - a 42% increase in just 7 years from 2023. According to the World Bank, graphite will experience the greatest demand of all critical minerals, growing by 500% by 2050. In that same vein, the IEA reports that graphite will also experience the greatest shortage of all critical minerals. With China historically dominating the entire supply chain, and recently curtailing exports, Innova is well positioned to offer the domestic supplies of graphite urgently needed to meet net-zero targets. An even bigger plus is we can do that at a 50-80% lower cost and with 70-90% lower emissions than incumbent graphite production methods." - Kamelia Giles, CEO.
