Tackling Titanium

<p>In this episode of Futurized, we interview Anastasios Arima, CEO & co-founder, IperionX. We discuss the challenge of bringing down the cost and environmental impact of titanium in the industrial supply chain, using novel technology that might be able to replace or suppleant the Kroll process dominant today. Advanced materials are not typically manufactured in the US for various reasons, including environmental impact of current methods. Any breakthrough would contribute to decarbonizing advanced manufacturing. </p> <p>Futurized goes beneath the trends to track the underlying forces of disruption in tech, policy, business models, social dynamics and the environment.</p> <p>I’m your host, Trond Arne Undheim <a href='https://twitter.com/trondau'>(@trondau)</a>, futurist, scholar, author, investor, and serial entrepreneur.
