What you can expect
Five tracks to scale new materials in Europe.
Cutting the Decade to Market: AI Materials Development and Autonomous Labs
Materials discovery has shortened from years to weeks, while getting the material to market still takes a decade. We bring R&D leaders together with the AI discovery and autonomous lab builders closing that gap.
98% Imported: Securing Europe's Critical Materials and Magnets
Europe imports 98% of its rare-earth magnets and holds the scrap that could replace them. We convene the waste holders, recyclers, recovery innovators and manufacturers who can build that supply inside Europe.
Qualified for the Limits: Materials for Electrification and Extreme Environments
Heat, mass and survivability are now the limits on what can be built, and the materials delivering this are not yet qualified for use. We bring R&D leaders together with the developers and test bodies who can change that.
Biology Works, but Loses on Price: Cost-Competitive Biomanufacturing
Biological routes to chemicals work almost everywhere and lose on cost almost everywhere. We bring feedstock holders, fermentation operators and offtakers together to close that gap.
Keeping Chemical Plants Open: Power, Heat and Electrification
9% of Europe's chemical capacity has closed since 2022, and energy cost rather than demand is why. We convene the producers with the utilities, grid operators and technology builders who can change what a European plant costs to run.
