Who we work with
Specific profiles. Clear pathway.
Battery technology company
Seeking upstream access, lithium contracts, or manufacturing partnerships in Chile's growing downstream industrial ecosystem.
Processing or refining technology provider
Targeting Chilean operators with improved processing technology for lithium carbonate or hydroxide production.
Battery manufacturer
Sourcing lithium carbonate, hydroxide, or value-added materials from Chilean producers for global manufacturing operations.
Industrial procurement team
Evaluating Chile as a primary source for lithium materials to reduce supply chain concentration risk.
Where companies get stuck
Four obstacles. Each one compounds.
The patterns we see consistently in this sector β and how we eliminate them.
Concentrated production access
Lithium production is controlled by two primary operators with complex procurement and partnership structures. Access requires specific positioning.
Impact
No path to engagement with either primary operator without the right positioning.
How we solve it
We map the procurement and partnership structures at SQM and Codelco and position you before direct engagement.
Our work in this sector
Three mandates. Each one specific.

What we do
Output
Entry Β· Strategy
Operator access mapping
We map the procurement and partnership structures at SQM and Codelco, identify the right entry point, and define the approach before you engage directly.
Entry Β· Structure
Legal & regulatory navigation
Chile entity setup, lithium policy compliance, and structure for technology licensing or processing partnerships with Chilean operators.
Sourcing Β· Mandate
Material supply coordination
We identify qualified Chilean lithium material producers, coordinate qualification samples, and support supply agreement negotiation.
