Delighted to share the latest feature in The Diplomat.

🌏 “Asia’s Dual Scramble: CriticalMinerals, Energy, and the Traders Holding It Together.”

Two revolutions:CleanTech and AI are transforming Asia’s rise and reshaping the global race for energy and minerals.

In the article, Guy explores how traders are emerging as the unsung stabilisers of this new era, bridging governments, producers, and financiers to keep industries, including the defence sector, running in an increasingly fragmented world.

As we prepare for the UK_Africa_Middle_East_Critical_Minerals_Forum, this debate feels especially relevant.

The same questions facing Asia resilience, diversification, and economic security are defining Africa’s future too.

🔗 n We'd love to hear your thoughts on how these dynamics resonate across regions.
