Fostering digital transformation of the raw materials sector with smart processing solutions

On 5 November, 10 selected teams from the Eramet Real-time Monitoring Challenge were invited to pitch in front of the evaluation panel of experts. Congratulations to the three finalists, abaut, mecorad and Sisprobe that will continue the journey to the final in January 2021!

We are very pleased that many of the TOP 10 teams have been supported by EIT RawMaterials through our different business creation activities – from the EIT Jumpstarter, Accelerator programme to Booster. They are ambitious changemakers developing new digital monitoring solutions that will impact the raw materials sector.
