Coming to Utah
Pure Battery Technologies, an Australian-based clean-tech company developing pCAM for lithium-ion batteries, is planning a large-scale commercial battery recycling facility.
Liberate Minerals, an Australian-based mineral refining company, is exploring opportunities to expand its operations.
These opportunities reflect growing interest in Utah’s energy, critical minerals, and advanced manufacturing sectors — and the role foreign investment can play in supporting long-term growth.
The Utah pavilion is sponsored by World Trade Center Utah in partnership with the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity (GOEO).
