Strategic partnerships are the key

Cooperation between all relevant players is essential for the future of the raw materials sector. The cooperation with the Institute for Advanced Mining Technologies at RWTH Aachen University is an example of how industrial pragmatism, technological innovation and applied research can make a significant contribution to a secure and sustainable supply of raw materials.

"A secure and sustainable supply of raw materials can only be guaranteed through the interaction of industry, science, politics and civil society. Together, we must create suitable market mechanisms, drive innovation and develop sustainable solutions in order to successfully meet the challenges of the future," explains Jens-Peter Lux.

The conference offers participants an outstanding opportunity for knowledge exchange, an established platform for networking and for developing new partnerships to work together on the present and future of a resilient, reliable and sustainable supply of raw materials.
