Energy decision-makers rely on Benchmark Mineral Intelligence's data, and this acquisition of Rho Motion creates a comprehensive view of the EV supply chain "from mine to grid." This is an important milestone in the shift to clean energy — congrats to Simon Moores, Adam Panayi, and all involved. Parag Khandelwal Adam Margolin Cameron Ghorbani Joseph Haig Katherine Xiao
💫 Benchmark welcomes Rho Motion as we significantly expand our lithium, battery supply chain and energy transition platform 💫 Benchmark is excited to announce the successful completion of its first major acquisition, Rho Motion, a leading energy transition data and market intelligence provider. The deal delivers a completely unique offering for clients - critical minerals, batteries, downstream EVs, powertrain technology, energy storage systems (ESS), rare earth permanent magnets, EV charging ecosystems, semiconductors and renewable energy. Combined, with nearly 250 employees, Benchmark and Rho Motion form the world’s biggest platform for prices, data and market intelligence dedicated to the full breadth of critical mineral and energy transition supply chains. With both companies headquartered in London, the deal positions the UK at the centre of this generational shift from fossil fuels to future facing, low carbon technologies. Simon Moores, CEO of Benchmark, said: "The combination of Rho Motion’s proprietary insights on the entire energy transition ecosystem coupled with Benchmark has a multiplier effect for both customer bases. This acquisition makes our offering completely unique and further reinforces Benchmark’s number one position in the battery, electric vehicle and energy transition market intelligence space." Adam Panayi, Managing Director of Rho Motion, said: “It is a great pleasure to be joining forces with Benchmark to form the first dedicated end-to-end data and market intelligence firm covering the energy transition from mine to grid. The combined expertise of the two companies will provide a complete solution to guide the trillion dollar challenge of building the future energy landscape.” You can read the full announcement here - https://lnkd.in/eXsJs23k
