As the importance of critical minerals continues to rise on the global agenda, American Battery Technology Company is increasingly being recognized as a company helping shape the future of energy, technology, and materials security.
CEO Ryan Melsert and Head of Communications and Marketing Tiffiany Moehring traveled to New York City last week for a series of high-stakes engagements that placed us at the center of the global conversation on critical minerals. The trip opened with a keynote at the Green Growth Investor Series, where Ryan connected our technology platform to a four-nation green growth mission, and closed at an exclusive Economist Enterprise dinner that put critical minerals at the heart of the AI and energy debate. In between, the team met with investors and strategic partners shaping the future of energy independence. Across every stop, one message held firm: our progress on a secure, circular supply chain for critical minerals matters right now.
A Keynote on the Green Growth Investor Series Stage
By invitation of the Consulate General of India, Ryan Melsert delivered a keynote address at the Third Edition of the Green Growth Investor Series. This mission-led platform bridges policy, innovation, and investment across India, the United States, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates.
The Series convenes global investors, operators, and policymakers to advance scalable solutions in clean energy, the circular economy, and critical minerals. It’s a forum where capital formation and commercialization strategy meet the infrastructure decisions that will define the energy transition.
Ryan brought a rare perspective to that stage. Before founding our company, he was one of a handful of engineers tasked with building Tesla’s first-of-its-kind gigafactory, an experience that shaped his conviction that breakthrough technology only matters when it scales. He used the keynote to show how a single American company is building the technologies and partnerships needed to secure battery-grade critical minerals at scale. When four nations align around green growth, our domestic, circular model offers a working blueprint they can act on today.
A Seat at the Economist’s Global Agenda Dinner
The trip closed with one of New York’s most exclusive gatherings: the Global Agenda Dinner, hosted by The Economist at the historic New York Yacht Club. In this intimate, invitation-only setting, Ryan joined a select group of 40 CEOs and other global leaders working at the cutting edge of innovation to address some of the most pressing challenges shaping the future of power: secure energy and grids for the future of AI, satisfying data centers’ energy appetite without the emissions side plate, and ensuring a secure supply of critical minerals and rare earths for rapid growth. He engaged directly in these conversations, bringing our perspective to a debate that will help define how the world powers what comes next.
This invitation-only gathering brought together a select group of senior C-suite leaders for an intimate, closed-door discussion held under Chatham House Rules. Seated in a UN Security Council–style “hollow square,” Ryan joined global leaders from energy producers, data center developers, grid owners, technology firms, and the investment community in a high-level exchange designed to influence the international debate on the future of power and materials security. Our recognized innovation and proven capabilities earned us a place in that conversation, alongside the executives steering the world’s most consequential decisions on energy and critical minerals.
The conversation tackled the challenges defining the future of power:
- Secure energy and grids for the future of AI
- Power hungry: satisfying data center energy appetites without the emissions side plate
- Critical minerals and rare earths: ensuring secure supply for rapid growth
Our place at that table was no accident. As global leaders confront the realities of AI-driven energy demand, grid resilience, and the urgent need to secure critical minerals supply, we are increasingly recognized for our ability to deliver differentiated recycling and domestic resource solutions at scale. Our presence alongside executives from across energy, technology, and finance reflects a growing acknowledgment that our innovation, technical capabilities, and strategic relevance belong at the center of these conversations, where critical minerals are now understood as the foundation beneath the future of power.
Investor and Strategic Partner Engagements
Between the keynote and the dinner, Ryan and Tiffiany met with members of the investment community and key strategic partners.
These conversations covered our continued development and long-term capital strategy. They also reinforced relationships with investors, strategic partners, financial media, and industry leaders who help drive the deployment of solutions shaping the future of energy and materials independence. Engagements like these keep us connected to the people and capital that turn vision into operating capacity.
Looking Ahead
Status quo is the enemy. The energy transition will be won by companies willing to challenge convention and build better solutions for our planet and our people.
ABTC’s inclusion signals growing recognition of the company’s role in addressing challenges that have become central to both U.S. industrial strategy and global economic competitiveness. As governments and industries work to secure reliable supplies of battery materials, strengthen domestic manufacturing, and build resilient supply chains, ABTC’s integrated approach to battery recycling and domestic lithium production is increasingly viewed as an important part of the solution.
From Nevada to New York and beyond, ABTC continues to expand its influence on the national and global stage, helping shape the conversations and solutions that will define the future of energy, transportation, and resource security.
