Expert Forum: Day 2
Sustainable Materials for Future Mobility
Preliminary Agenda
09:00 - 13:00
Mobility is the main driver in modern society and an important economic factor in European industrial competitiveness. Today, we are in the middle of a process of disruptive innovation in mobility, which has been triggered by key societal trends as well as technological breakthroughs.
New forms of sustainable mobility are enabled by innovation in Advanced Materials, for instance, in batteries, magnets for e-drives, lightweight materials. They are made of raw materials that significantly determine the environmental footprint of the entire product. Emerging energy and mobility technologies create a strong demand for raw materials and advanced materials. For some critical materials, this demand will dramatically exceed current production in the next 10 to 15 years. Limited access might negatively impact the mobility transition, thus reducing the competitiveness of the European raw materials industry.

Circular Societies
Preliminary Agenda
14:00 - 18:00
Raw, processed and advanced materials, from primary and secondary sources, are the backbone of the economy. A radical shift is required from linear to circular thinking.
Awareness of the benefits of closing material loops must be raised in society. The successful transition of a society to the circular economy at the global scale depends on the reliable and sustainable supply and management of raw materials. Different type of actors, such as business, consumers, citizens, cities etc., are key in driving this process.
