Navigating Critical Minerals: Banner's Inaugural Policy Briefing Sets the Stage for Industry Insight
Banner Public Affairs is set to host its first virtual policy briefing, "Banner Briefing: Critical Minerals and Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chains," on January 28, 2026. This event, taking place at 10:00 a.m. EST, is designed to address the pressing national security, trade, and industrial policy issues surrounding critical minerals in the United States. Featuring insights from Banner Partner and former Senator Jim Talent, alongside Senior Vice President of Government Relations Dan Birns, the discussion is poised to provide businesses with valuable knowledge regarding the implications of federal policy decisions on their operations. As the U.S. government increasingly engages in financing and shaping critical mineral supply chains, understanding these dynamics is essential for companies aiming to align their strategies with federal priorities.
During the briefing, Talent will highlight the importance of industry collaboration with federal agencies, emphasizing that success in the critical minerals sector hinges on adapting to governmental frameworks. Birns will further elaborate on the transition from mere acknowledgment of critical minerals to proactive investments in solutions that address supply chain challenges. This shift reflects a broader trend in U.S. industrial policy, where the government actively seeks to influence the development and sustainability of critical minerals projects, essential for advanced manufacturing and technological innovation.
The insights shared during this briefing will cover critical policy risks, incentives, and the evaluation process for critical minerals projects in Washington over the next six to 18 months. As participants gain access to this crucial information, they will be better equipped to navigate the evolving landscape of critical minerals and advanced manufacturing.
