Alkemio - Reinventing Rare Earth Refining

Alkemio is an Argentina-based deep tech company rethinking rare earth refining at a time when global supply chains are under pressure. With over 90% of refining capacity concentrated in China, industries and governments are seeking independent access to critical minerals essential for EVs, semiconductors, defense systems, and energy transition infrastructure.In this episode, we speak with founders Federico Pereyra Bonnet and Ailin Svagzdys, about the company’s proprietary molecular recognition platform and its modular, climate-friendly, refining model as an alternative to capital-heavy legacy plants. With a 15-year commercial framework in place at Iron Duke Mine, Alkemio is positioning itself at the intersection of science, geopolitics, and infrastructure.Followed by Investor Talk with Laetitia Marcadé, our Investment Committee, #EpicInvestor, and principal at Dalus Capital, the lead investor.Hosted by Maaike Doyer & Hester Spiegel, founders of Epic Angels.
