Europe’s competitiveness in an increasingly volatile geopolitical landscape will depend on secure and sustainable access to raw and advanced materials.

Against this backdrop, the 8th edition of the EIT RawMaterials Summit will take place in Brussels from 19–21 May 2026, bringing together Europe’s key decision-makers across the materials value chain.

Save the date: this flagship gathering will focus on accelerating domestic extraction, processing and recycling capacity, scaling innovative technologies from lab to plant, and mobilising public and private investment to strengthen Europe’s industrial resilience.

The programme will address strategic autonomy, circularity, global partnerships, finance and skills — all essential pillars for maintaining Europe’s competitiveness.

CEOs, policymakers, investors, researchers and entrepreneurs will convene to turn regulatory ambition into concrete projects and market-ready solutions. At a decisive moment for Europe’s materials economy, the Summit will serve as the forum where strategy translates into action.
