EIT RawMaterials Summit
The EIT RawMaterials Summit is the leading event for the raw materials sector, organised by EIT RawMaterials, the world’s largest and most active raw materials knowledge and innovation network. Since the inaugural summit in 2019, this annual gathering has become a pivotal platform for collaboration, knowledge exchange and driving progress in the raw materials sector.
This high-profile conference brings together top policymakers, industry leaders, innovators, researchers, and investors to tackle challenges and present solutions across the value chain. Topics span innovation, circularity, skills development, policy, financing and strategic partnerships, and more.
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.
