As Latin American countries, including Chile, Brazil, and Argentina, aim to build up their own lithium supply chains and industries, the EU looks to collaborate with the region to meet its growing demand for lithium. The “lithium triangle” of Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia, holding significant lithium reserves, becomes a focal point for cooperation between the EU and Latin America to ensure a stable supply of lithium.

Here are 4 stocks set to thrive as a result:
