In Case You Missed It
Proactive Investors recently featured M2i Global CEO Alberto Rosende in a wide-ranging interview covering the company’s upcoming merger with private aviation company Volato, its anticipated NYSE uplisting, and the broader strategy for building a vertically integrated critical minerals and logistics platform.
In the interview, Rosende emphasized how the Volato deal is not a pivot away from M2i’s core mission but a bold extension of it. By acquiring a majority stake in Volato, M2i Global is positioning itself to control the full supply chain—from critical minerals to logistics and final application.
Uplisting to the NYSE
The merger also sets the stage for M2i’s planned uplisting to the New York Stock Exchange. This move would elevate the company’s visibility with institutional investors and strengthen its credibility in the critical materials market. Rosende called the uplist to the New York Stock Exchange, “[key] for us to really manage the growth that we need.”
An Ecosystem Approach to National Security
M2i Global has long championed the idea that national resilience depends not only on mining or materials access, but on integrating sourcing, processing, logistics, and end-use technologies. The addition of Volato expands M2i’s reach into secure aviation and logistics infrastructure, key components for transporting high-value, defense-grade materials.
“As we seek to ensure our independence of critical minerals supply and sourcing, it will come from across the globe through partners and allies that we have, as well as from the States,” Rosende added. “[T]here will be a lot of requirements on the horizon demanding a clear understanding of where that material was sourced from, ensuring it’s been responsibly resourced and from allied nations.”
A New Class of Public Company
Rosende closed by reiterating M2i’s mission to become a new kind of public company, one that aligns profitability with national strategic needs.
