Lithium Universe collaboration develops battery in | Australian Markets

Lithium Universe has partnered with a research-focussed Canadian engineering college, Polytechnique Montreal, to drive innovation in lithium processing within the nation and increase native experience in battery metals to improve its provide chain.

The initial five-year deal is printed in a memorandum of understanding and can concentrate on three key areas: industry schooling, curriculum development and analysis and development collaboration.

Polytechnique Montréal is one of Canada’s main engineering faculties and is recognised for its analysis and innovation in utilized sciences and technology. It’s affiliated with the Université de Montréal and is a hub for multi-disciplinary analysis and development.

The college’s dedication to addressing world challenges, together with sustainability and vitality transition, additionally aligns with Lithium Universe’s mission to advance essential supplies to be used in clean vitality.
