This session brings together the three European Commission Directorates at the heart of Europe’s raw materials agenda — DG GROW (Internal Market & Industry), DG TRADE, and DG INTPA (International Partnerships) — for a frank, joined-up conversation on how the CRMA benchmarks and strategic projects, Europe’s new €3bn commitment to the sector under the RESourceEU programme, and global strategic partnerships, are translating raw materials security from strategy to delivery. Balanced by a board-level industry perspective, it’s the session where Europe’s critical raw materials strategy meets the hard questions of capital, delivery, and competitive geopolitical realities.  Rue Bara 175, 1070 Bruxelles, Belgium, The Egg, Auditorium RAW MATERIALS http://eitrmsummit.com/eit-rawmaterials-summit-2026/architecture-action-delivering-europes-critical-raw-materials-strategy Europe/Brussels public
