M2i Global CEO Alberto Rosende joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s strategic initiatives, including progress on its merger with Volato and a new offtake agreement with Next-Gen. Rosende confirmed that the long-anticipated merger with Volato is moving forward after delays caused by a recent government shutdown. “We were able to push it out quickly,” he said, referencing the company’s SEC filing response. The shareholder meeting to approve the merger is scheduled for February 26th, 2026, with the company aiming to close the deal by the end of the first quarter. This milestone is expected to strengthen M2i Global’s software development capabilities, particularly in applications supporting critical mineral supply chains. The CEO also shared details about a new partnership with Next-Gen, which operates a proprietary cathode material process. The facility in Australia will be the first of its kind outside China, and M2i Global has secured an exclusive offtake agreement for the material, expected to begin delivery in approximately two years. Rosende described the development as “really exciting news that we’ll be able to bring that to the United States,” underscoring the strategic importance of securing a stable, non-China-based supply of cathode materials for the North American market. Looking ahead to 2026, Rosende emphasized Volato’s critical role in the company’s broader Critical Minerals Reserve project. Volato will provide software solutions for material tracking, inventory management, and integration with partner operations. A pilot program is planned to validate the technology, ensuring seamless coordination across the supply chain and providing real-time analytics for strategic decision-making. Rosende concluded that these developments position M2i Global to enhance its operational capabilities, secure critical supply sources, and expand its footprint in the rapidly growing market for advanced battery materials and critical minerals. #proactiveinvestors #m2iglobalinc #otcqb #mtwo #CriticalMinerals #SupplyChainSecurity #StrategicMinerals #USDefense #EconomicSecurity #BlockchainLogistics #CriticalMinerals #NevadaMining #parslee #volato #gallium
