Join Raw Materials Week 2024: Registration Now Open!

EUMICON is excited to announce that registration for Raw Materials Week 2024 is officially open! This year’s event, set to take place from the 9th to the 13th of December in Brussels, brings together over 1,000 participants, including industry leaders, policymakers, and academics, to discuss the future of raw materials in Europe.

Key topics include sustainable resource management, critical raw materials, the decarbonisation of supply chains, and international cooperation. The 11th Annual High-Level Conference, co-organised with EUMICON on the 11th of December, will spotlight future EU raw materials policies within the Clean Industrial Deal framework.

 

Focus on Industrial Competitiveness

This year’s Raw Materials Week is essential for shaping Europe’s industrial future. With the Critical Raw Materials Act and the Clean Industrial Deal driving discussions, the event will explore how the EU can strengthen its industrial competitiveness by ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of raw materials.

As Europe accelerates its green and digital transitions, the demand for critical raw materials is rising. The event will tackle how Europe can enhance its resilience, reduce dependency on non-EU countries, and remain competitive in a fast-changing global landscape.

 

Join us to engage in strategic discussions on Europe’s resource resilience, innovation, and sustainability.

The event will cover:

  • Sustainable Resource Management: The shift toward greener, circular practices will be a central theme. Expect discussions on improving recycling systems, waste reduction, and lifecycle thinking.
  • Critical Raw Materials Strategy: The European Commission’s CRM Act aims to reduce Europe’s dependency on third-country suppliers. Explore new policies and partnerships aimed at securing the supply of essential materials for the EU's industrial future.
  • Decarbonisation of Supply Chains: As Europe works to achieve its net-zero targets, Raw Materials Week will highlight how decarbonization can be achieved in the mining and raw materials supply chains.
  • Digital and Green Transition: Discussions will focus on raw materials essential to technologies that support the green and digital transitions, such as batteries, wind turbines, and semiconductors.
  • International Cooperation: Strengthening alliances with global partners to ensure a resilient supply of raw materials will be a key focus, as Europe seeks to secure its strategic autonomy.

 

Networking Opportunities

Participants will have the opportunity to connect with experts, decision-makers, and industry innovators, building strategic partnerships that will shape Europe’s raw materials future.
