Add to Calendar 2025-05-14 09:30:00 Raw Materials Summit 2025: Geopolitical Dynamics in Securing Europe’s Defence Supply Chains In today’s rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape, securing Europe’s critical raw materials (CRM) for defence is more than an industrial challenge — it is a strategic imperative. This high-level panel will explore how global geopolitical tensions, shifting alliances, and security risks are reshaping Europe’s defence priorities and supply chain resilience. The discussion will focus on how international dynamics are driving defence-oriented policy decisions, what adaptations are needed to mitigate geopolitical risks, and how the CRM Act and Europe’s 2030 targets intersect with military readiness and strategic autonomy.
