The Korean government has also indicated it will support interested participants through coordinated "Team Korea" partnerships and KIND's strategic financial support capabilities.

"We are honored that the Riverside project has been selected for review as part of this significant Korea-U.S. infrastructure initiative," said Mike O'Kronley, Chief Executive Officer of NOVONIX. "The inclusion of Riverside in this program provides an opportunity to introduce our project to leading Korean companies and institutions as we continue advancing one of North America's most important battery materials manufacturing platforms. We are particularly encouraged by the collaborative approach being taken by MOLIT and KIND, including the potential to connect projects with strategic partners and financing resources that can help accelerate development."

The Riverside project was presented alongside a limited number of other U.S. infrastructure and industrial development opportunities identified through ongoing cooperation between the United States and Korean governments. Through the initiative, Korean companies will evaluate potential participation opportunities while KIND and other public agencies work to facilitate project development, strategic partnerships and financing support.
