The Critical Raw Materials Act has established ambitious targets for domestic supply, but ambition alone does not attract capital. To unlock the billions required for European autonomy, investors must have clear signals on what resources exist, where future demand is heading, and how markets will price them to underwrite long-term commitments. Delivering this will require the European raw materials sector to replace fragmented insights with a transparent, unified, and high-quality data infrastructure.

Bringing together architects of European and national resource governance and leaders in market intelligence, this panel examines how stronger data systems can turn raw insights into investment decisions — and how new technologies are redefining what these systems can deliver in an increasingly volatile market.
