Boosting strategic raw materials in the European North

Welcome to an event full of opportunities to connect, learn, and collaborate!

The event focuses on finding solutions to raw materials challenges along the value chain, presenting the latest innovations, and networking for new collaborations.

Professor Magnus Ericsson and Ms Maria Nyberg (DG Grow) will give an introduction to the current discussion on the strategic and critical raw materials in the EU. The introduction is followed by a panel discussion focusing on the concrete opportunities that the newly published Critical Raw Material Act proposal brings to the industry, the investment community as well as regional and local governments.

The highly anticipated industry reverse pitch sessions are this year featuring leading companies such as Anglo American, Epiroc, FLSmidth, LKAB, Aurora Lithium and more. You can also look forward to the start-up parade where different companies pitch both challenges and achievements and solutions.

Our facilitated matchmaking is a great way to connect and find new partners. Sign up for our event platform in Brella, find a match for your company, book a speed meeting, and broaden your network.

These activities provide an excellent platform for networking and identifying new opportunities for a fair and stable raw materials supply in Europe.

We also want to invite you to join us for a networking dinner the day before the event. The dinner will take place at Restaurant Pelikan in Stockholm, on Monday, June 12th, at 6 PM.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Stockholm or online.
