The global push toward electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage is accelerating — and lithium sits at the center of it. Our next Wine Wednesday will feature Amanda Hall, CEO and Founder of Summit Nanotech, a Canadian cleantech company advancing direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology built for modern battery supply chains. Summit is focused on increasing lithium recovery while significantly reducing water use — addressing one of the biggest challenges in scaling the energy transition. The discussion will be moderated by InterGen CEO Sandi Gilbert. With more than 20 years as a professional geophysicist, Amanda has led Summit from concept to commercialization, earning recognition including EY Entrepreneur of The Year® Prairies and Business Insider’s Climate Action 30. In conversation, we’ll explore: - Why lithium has become strategically critical - What it takes to scale deep-tech in industrial markets - How capital, partnerships, and commercialization intersect in cleantech
