European Institute of Innovation and Technology - EIT

• EIT brings together the three sides of the “knowledge triangle”: business, education and research.

• EIT strengthens innovation in Europe by supporting new talent and new ideas through Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs).

An organisation formed by top European partners from the metal & mineral sectorSupported by the European Union (in 2016 ca 20 M EUR, 400 M EUR by 2022)Aims to improve innovation in the raw materials value chain through different activities Activities and support along the entire raw material value chain: from exploration to mining, and from processing to recycling, substitution and eco-design

EIT RawMaterials

Vision: To develop raw materials into a major strength for Europe

Mission: To boost competitiveness, growth and attractiveness of the European raw materials sector via radical innovation and entrepreneurship.

1. Securing raw materials supply2. Designing solutions3. Closing material loops

EIT RawMaterials

• Bridging the valley of death

• Market introduction of products and processes

• Educate entrepreneurs

What is the purpose?

After PR Neeb, 2006

7

Challenges (Opportunities)

• We have increasing global population

• We have an increase in raw materials consumption per capita

• We use more complicated technologies and consume more different raw materials

• In EU we are not producing as much as we are consuming

• A strong move towards recycling and circularity

• Mining will not disappear

• The need for raw materials will not disappear

• Technology will matter more than ever

• Understanding value chains is important
