What they argued
The proposed Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA) represents an important and timely initiative to strengthen the European Union's industrial base, accelerate decarbonisation, and improve economic resilience. The proposal demonstrates strong alignment with key industrial challenges, particularly through its focus on streamlined permitting (Articles 4 and 5), demand-side measures (Chapter III), and enhanced coordination…
A summary response from EIT RawMaterials and the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) The European raw materials sector views the European Critical Raw Materials Act as the single, most vital action needed to reform the industry, strengthen the technological advantage, and allow Europe to compete globally on a level playing field.
Europe is in a unique position where it has achieved extraordinary success in world-leading R&D across Raw Materials sectors but still faces a significant challenge in converting early-stage technology developments into commercial products at scale.
EIT RawMaterials is Europes engine for advanced materials innovation. It drives the EUs twin green and digital transitions, strengthens industrial competitiveness, and ensures Europes leadership in sustainable manufacturing.
EIT RawMaterials was created in 2015 to build a capability no single Member State or company could build alone: a European innovation network spanning the whole raw materials value chain, from exploration and mining through processing and advanced materials to recycling, connected to industry and to the universities that supply the sector's workforce.
Executive Summary The European Commission's decision to establish a European Critical Raw Materials (CRM) Centre is a strategic opportunity to turn Europe's raw materials policy framework into industrial capability. The strategic case is firmly anchored in the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), the Competitiveness Compass, the Clean Industrial Deal and RESourceEU.
The EIT (European Institute of Innovation and Technology) KICs (Knowledge and Innovation Communities) welcome 2023 as the European Year of Skills. The EIT KICs appreciate the European Unions intention to invest and catalyse efforts in education and lifelong learning.
