Unlocking Capital for Europe’s Raw Materials Future: Closing the Gap

How can Europe unleash its vast capital pools into the critical raw materials sector? There are several challenges to overcome, inherent to the nature of the sector. The nature of how critical raw materials are traded globally, conditions for project finance and factors limiting engagement by institutional investors all play a role. Could strategic stockpiling contribute to a potential solution? This panel will explore how Europe can develop innovative funding mechanisms, connect alternative capital sources, and create alternative strategies that accelerate project development while ensuring strategic control.
