Mangrove Raises $3M from BDC Capital to Accelerate & Diversify Lithium Refining Globally
9.2.2021 18:44:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
Mangrove Lithium announced the successful closing of a $3M financing from BDC Capital’s Cleantech Practice.
Mangrove is a developer of a breakthrough modular platform for the most cost-effective production of battery grade lithium hydroxide. Its electrochemical innovation simplifies existing processes and can directly refine input streams from brine, hard-rock, clay and geothermal assets.
“Lithium processing is presently concentrated in a small number of regions in the world,” says Mangrove’s CEO Saad Dara. “As electrification and decarbonization accelerates, Industry and Governments have recognized the emerging supply risk and the importance of having access to a diverse, secure and low-cost source of the critical raw material.”
Mangrove plans to leverage technology platform advancements made possible with $7.1M in previously announced funding from Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) and Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC). An additional $3M in funding from BDC will help Mangrove accelerate the deployment of the first commercial systems with upstream lithium producers and cathode and cell manufacturers.
“This is a pivotal moment as awareness around environmental challenges rises on a global level. Mangrove’s technology is truly unique as it addresses a key bottleneck in the lithium supply chain,” said Cheri Corbett, Director with BDC Capital’s Cleantech Practice. “We could not be more excited to support the Mangrove team in their plans for commercialization.”

Stonebranch Launches Hybrid Orchestration Control Plane to Provide Governed Reliability in the Agentic Era8.10.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Stonebranch, a leading provider of service orchestration and automation solutions, today announced the Hybrid Orchestration Control Plane, a new solution powered by Stonebranch Universal Automation Center™ (UAC) version 8.1. It lets enterprises run traditional automation, AI tasks, autonomous agents, and human decisions as one end-to-end workflow, with consistent permissions, approvals, service levels, audit trails, and recovery controls. Agents are spreading across the enterprise, but they act without the operational context around each decision: prior approvals, downstream dependencies, and recovery. Alone, they become another disconnected execution environment, with separate controls, fragmented visibility, and custom plumbing. The Hybrid Orchestration Control Plane connects them to existing automation in one governed process: agents reason and request, while governed workflows control execution. "Every enterprise will use AI agents. The question is whether those agents can be trust
