The published government strategy (July-2022) for the management of risks associated with Critical Mineral (CM) identified that better use of data generated in supply chains (end-to-end, from mining through processing, transportation, and manufacturing) is needed to accelerate innovation and a more efficient circular economy. Therefore, the purpose of the project is to implement elements of a collaboration toolkit that allows insight from data to be shared across multiple parties, without the need to expose the underlying data itself. The supply chain scenario to be used in demonstrating the capability and value will be the critical minerals supply-chain for the manufacture of Electric Vehicle batteries. The mineral extraction will take place in Australia with the final product in the UK market. The intention of the project will be to develop a prototype for a collaboration toolkit with a Technology Readiness Level of TRL 5 (technology model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment).It has been established via government/industry engagement that:* Industry recognises that current methods of supply chain management are unsustainable (financially, environmentally and socially)* Collaboration over data usage is a prerequisite to making improvements* Proposed technology include autonomous AI agents, digital ledger technology (DLT) and cryptographic zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP).* The intervention of a neutral capability is needed to enable otherwise competitive and data-protective entities to collaborate towards a solution that works for the whole industryThis project seeks to create a suite of digital tools to help govern the exchange of insight and value between companies enabling users to map activities, availability, and transit of critical minerals across the supply chain. The tools will allow users with the right permissions to access insight on the provenance and ESG performance of critical mineral supply chains; thus, playing a pivotal role in the Government's Strategy for more sustainable critical minerals supply chains.Project stakeholders include:The project, led by Digital Catapult (DC) as part of their Digital Supply Chain Hub, will lead on the technical developments with Cambridge Institute for Manufacturing. The International Chambers of Commerce, supported by Teesside University are leveraging their expertise in facilitating multi-stakeholder collaboration bringing together the Cabinet Office, GIZ in Germany and key Australian stakeholders to ensure that we will have participation of all the Lithium supply chain and technology companies from mines in Australia, through ports, UK manufacturing and into the EV batteries of cars manufactured by Nissan and Saab in the UK.

发布的政府战略（2022年7月）与关键矿物（CM）相关的风险管理确定，需要更好地利用供应链（从采矿到加工，运输和制造的端到端）中产生的数据，以加速创新和更有效的循环经济。因此，该项目的目的是实现一个协作工具包的元素，允许在多方之间共享数据的洞察力，而不需要暴露底层数据本身。用于展示能力和价值的供应链情景将是电动汽车电池制造的关键矿物供应链。矿物开采将在澳大利亚进行，最终产品将在英国市场销售。该项目的目的是开发一个技术准备水平为TRL 5的协作工具包原型（相关环境中的技术模型或原型演示）。通过政府/行业的参与，已经确定：* 行业认识到目前的供应链管理方法是不可持续的（财务，环境和社会）* 数据使用方面的合作是改进的先决条件 * 拟议的技术包括自主人工智能代理，数字账本技术（DLT）和加密零知识证明（ZKP）。需要中立功能的干预，以使竞争性和数据保护实体能够合作制定适用于整个行业的解决方案。该项目旨在创建一套数字化工具，以帮助管理公司之间的洞察力和价值交换，使用户能够绘制整个供应链中关键矿物的活动、可用性和运输。这些工具将允许拥有适当权限的用户深入了解关键矿产供应链的来源和ESG绩效，从而在政府的战略中发挥关键作用，以实现更可持续的关键矿产供应链。项目利益相关者包括：该项目由Digital Catapult（DC）领导，作为其数字供应链中心的一部分，将与剑桥制造研究所一起领导技术开发。在提赛德大学的支持下，国际商会正在利用其专业知识促进多方利益相关者的合作，将内阁办公室，德国的GIZ和澳大利亚的主要利益相关者聚集在一起，以确保我们将通过港口，从澳大利亚的矿山，英国制造，并进入电动汽车电池的汽车制造的日产和萨博在英国。
