Unprecedented partnership
An unprecedented world-class partnership of two major aluminium industry pioneers - Alcoa and Rio Tinto - led to the formation of ELYSIS. For the first time in history, the two competing multinational industry giants have joined forces and combined their strength to advance this significant R&D discovery and work together to scale it up and commercialize it.
The world’s technology giant Apple has helped facilitate the collaboration between Alcoa and Rio Tinto and, in addition to investing $13 million (CAD), has agreed to provide ELYSIS with technical support.
The Canadian Government and the Quebec Government, through participation of Investissement Quebec, have also decided to support and be part of this industry revolution, each investing $80 million (CAD) in ELYSIS.
