EIT RawMaterials Summit 2026
Accelerating Europe’s Competitiveness

Europe’s competitiveness will be won in the materials economy.

At the EIT RawMaterials Summit 2026, leaders across the full raw and advanced materials value chain – lab to plant, policy to procurement – will turn EU priorities into execution: scaling domestic extraction, processing and recycling, anchoring value in Europe, securing trusted global partnerships, and closing critical skills gaps. In a tougher geopolitical landscape, this is the flagship public–private forum where challenge becomes value creation.

If you set industrial strategy, capital or supply, this is the Summit you can’t afford to miss.
