In this episode of Material:Matters, Tessa Parry-Wingfield chats to Ingvil Smines Tybring-Gjedde. Ingvil is a non-executive director at Norge Mining. She’s also held various political positions over the years – such as Norwegian Minister of Public Security and Deputy Minister of Petroleum and Energy.

Hot on the heels of speaking at the World Policy Conference in Abu Dhabi, where the session was about the ‘Geopolitical Dimensions of the Future Supply of Critical Raw Materials’.
