EIT RawMaterials Summit 2026: Disruptive Innovation in Raw Materials, Advanced Materials, and the Circular Economy
Europe's materials future is already being built. This showcase features five startups from the EIT RawMaterials community, Europe's largest raw materials innovation ecosystem, demonstrating solutions that span the full value chain: from magnet recycling and refrigerant-free cooling to critical mineral recovery, CO₂-derived graphite, and materials traceability. Two of the startups, MagREESource and UP Catalyst, have been recognised as Strategic Projects under the Critical Raw Materials Act. The startups will share firsthand insights into what it takes to go from breakthroughs to bankable projects, offering fresh perspectives on how innovation can drive Europe’s industrial competitiveness.

EIT RawMaterials Summit 2026: The Future Workforce: What Europe’s Next Generation Expects from the Materials Industry
Europe’s raw materials sector faces a talent crisis, but the people who are the answer are not yet in the room, until now. For the first time at the EIT RawMaterials Summit, the stage spotlights the next generation. Young representatives from EIT RawMaterials-run education programmes, including the EIT Higher Education Initiative (HEI), Girls Go STEM, and the EIT-labeled master’s programmes, take the floor to deliver rapid-fire insights on what draws emerging talents to careers in the materials sector — and what drives them away. The insights they surface on skills gap, career paths and purpose and workplace culture are direct signals to future employers, educators and policymakers on what the sector must adapt to strengthen Europe’s talent pipelines.
