Fedor van der Post joins industry leaders in Berlin to discuss the financing landscape shaping Europe’s EV and battery ambitions, highlighting investor sentiment, protectionist pressures and the role of public funding in accelerating critical materials supply chains.
Earlier this week, Fedor van der Post, CEO of Liminal by WMC, joined a panel discussion at the Critical Materials Conference: EV & Battery 2026 in Berlin to discuss the financing landscape shaping Europe’s electric vehicle and battery ambitions.
The session explored the availability of capital to support Europe’s battery build-out, including investor sentiment, the impact of protectionist measures, and the role governments should play in providing direct funding to the industry.
The panel was hosted by Jessica Fung (Project Blue) and featured Sean Gorman (Hannam & Partners), Simon Gardner-Bond (TechMet), William Labat-Labourdette (BNP Paribas), and Fedor van der Post (WMC).
"Increasing amounts of private capital are looking to enter the CRM market across mining and processing, often with public support to share some of the geopolitically driven market risks. This growing global focus on the sector, including at an educational level, is an important early step in the selection and subsequent advancement of critical mineral supply chain projects." - Fedor van der Post, CEO of Liminal by WMC
Liminal is proud to contribute to the strategic conversation around securing resilient, competitive and well-financed critical materials and battery value chains in Europe.
