Global shifts, from geopolitical tensions to climate challenges, redefine Europe’s economic landscape. Critical raw materials (CRMs) are no longer just an industry concern—they are essential to Europe's competitiveness, strategic autonomy, and green transition.

With 80–100% import dependency on many CRMs, the European Competitiveness Compass highlights the urgent need to secure supply chains, diversify partnerships, and accelerate a circular economy. Action is needed now to drive industrial innovation and resilience.

Join over 1,000 participants, including industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers in Brussels, 13–15 May 2025, to connect, collaborate, and address the most pressing topics for our sector, including:

• Funding innovation to drive breakthrough research and industrial adoption
• Unlocking circular economies and Europe’s resource potential
• Training the workforce needed for a net-zero industrial future
• Building partnerships that drive meaningful progress and shared benefits
