Program of the RawMaterials Summit 2021 IN FOCUS

OPENING PLENARY
Big challenges need big ideas! Innovation, education, entrepreneurship: for the minerals, metals and advanced materials sector to facilitate the coming green and digital transformations, we must harness the power of these across the whole raw materials value chain.

EDUCATION AND INNOVATION IN RAW MATERIALS
Big ideas need innovators! For the raw materials sector of tomorrow to take shape, we need to equip the students and professionals of today with new skills. How can we ensure that we are educating future changemakers with the skills needed to innovate and become the next generation of entrepreneurial champions who will help solve our greatest societal challenges? Join the discussion and get inspired by the innovation journeys of leading EIT RawMaterials start-ups and scale-ups.

EUROPEAN RAW MATERIALS ALLIANCE (ERMA)
Innovators need allies! The European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) was established in 2020 to secure access to critical and strategic raw materials, advanced materials, and processing know-how for EU industrial ecosystems. Find out from top policymakers and industry executives how ERMA is tackling the challenge and what’s in the investment pipeline of our Alliance.

PARADIGM SHIFT IN CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Going full circle – together! Creating a Circular Economy is vital to the success of the EU Green Deal.
