Permanent magnets, specialty alloys, semiconductors, and functional coatings power Europe’s defense, mobility, electronics, and energy systems. But their very complexity also makes them hard to recycle and reintegrate into production cycles. Without a circular approach, Europe risks greater import dependence and significant value loss.
With the Circular Economy Act and the Advanced Materials Act both taking shape in 2026, this session convenes national resource strategists, industry leaders, disruptive innovators, ecosystem builders to examine what it takes to embed circularity into the advanced materials value chains. The discussion will move beyond recycling alone to tackle circularity-by-design, breakthrough recovery technologies, and how to build competitive markets for secondary advanced materials at scale.
The EIT RawMaterials Summit is taking place at The Egg Brussels, Rue Bara 175, 1070 Bruxelles, Belgium. This is an immersive experience and full participation requires attendance in person: for this reason we don’t offer virtual attendance options. The venue is fully accessible.
Your ticket grants you access to all sessions, workshops, networking events, and exhibits, and includes refreshments and meals. One-day passes provide the same access and benefits. A limited number of tickets will be available at the event, but we strongly recommend registering online in advance to secure your spot and take advantage of early bird discounts.
The venue has partnered with recommended hotels to offer discounted rates for Raw Materials Summit attendees. Information is available here https://theeggbrussels.com/partners/#hotel-partners
