New American Industrial Alliance launches ‘Ground Truth’ critical minerals readiness survey
Survey to supply industry snapshot on the current and future state of critical minerals supply.
The New American Industrial Alliance (NAIA) has launched a critical minerals readiness survey called "Ground Truth," marking their partnership with supply chain AI company Exiger. Established in 2024, NAIA is a US trade association comprising tech founders, venture capitalists, and manufacturers dedicated to rebuilding America's industrial base. Exiger, known for its supply chain risk technology, joins AI and defense tech pioneers like Anduril, Divergent, Google, Hadrian, and Palantir in advancing the coalition's mission.
The "Ground Truth" survey, focusing on the critical minerals supply, follows the White House's Executive Order 14415 "Securing America’s Defense Supply Chains and Ensuring Domestic Acquisition of Critical Materials." The survey gauges the current and future state of critical minerals supply against industrial demand. Exiger's SVP of product market leadership, Derek Lemke, expressed excitement about the partnership and the survey's potential to inform policymakers.
The survey findings will be compiled in a joint Exiger x NAIA research report, unveiling on September 16, 2026, at NAIA's The New Industrial Age Forum.
