Add to Calendar 2026-05-21 16:30:00 EIT RawMaterials Summit 2026: The Hidden Backbone of CRM Finance: Europe's Export Credit Agencies in Action When a critical raw materials project reaches financial close, the headline often goes to the equity investors and the bank. But behind almost every bankable deal is a European export credit agency providing the debt guarantees, political risk cover, and long-tenor financing structures that make it possible for commercial banks to lend at all. With [over €100 billion] in combined portfolio exposure across European ECAs, and agencies [like EKN, EIFO, and Euler Hermes] increasingly extending their mandates to cover not just exports but strategic resource security, the network is quietly becoming one of the most powerful tools Europe has for securing its critical materials supply chain globally.  This session brings together leading European ECAs and a major commercial bank to showcase how ECA finance is structured around CRM projects, what the network has delivered, and how deeper coordination could amplify Europe's ability to anchor trusted supply partnerships across the globe.
