EIT RawMaterials Summit Spotlights Europe’s Top Startups

Investing in Europes Future

With fewer than 1,300 working days to meet Europe’s 2030 goals, the need to secure critical raw materials is urgent. At EIT RawMaterials, we’re investing in bold start-ups and breakthrough projects that align with the CRMA—driving innovation in sustainable extraction, recycling, and AI-powered resource efficiency.

This year’s EIT RawMaterials Summit in Brussels will spotlight these game-changing ventures. At our Investor Day, start-ups will pitch to leading funds like Alpha Future Fund, Bpifrance, and Finindus—accelerating the capital needed to power Europe’s raw materials strategy.
