Regional Innovation Centres

The EIT RawMaterials Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS) Hubs play a critical role in reducing regional innovation disparities and boosting innovation capacity in Europe’s raw materials sector. RIS Hubs act as local innovation and knowledge centers, connecting stakeholders across industry, academia, and government to drive sustainable resource management and strengthen the raw materials value chain. By providing access to EIT RawMaterials activities and tailored programmes, the RIS Hubs empower moderate and emerging innovators to participate in cutting-edge projects, access funding, and build strategic partnerships. Through this network, the EIT RawMaterials RIS initiative fosters regional economic growth while advancing Europe’s transition to a circular and sustainable economy.
