About EIT RawMaterials

EIT RawMaterials GmbH, headquartered in Berlin, is a Knowledge and Innovation Community in the raw materials sector initiated and funded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). The company does not manufacture components itself, but supports innovation, education, financing and strategic consulting along the entire raw materials value chain – from exploration and mining to mineral and metal processing through to recycling. The portfolio includes open funding calls such as the KAVA Calls and the ERMA Booster Call, investments in start-ups and scale-ups, strategic consulting, the European Raw Materials Academy, tailor-made corporate training programmes and the M2i platform for market and metals intelligence. EIT RawMaterials also leads the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) with more than 750 partners. In addition to its headquarters in Berlin, the organisation maintains RIS Hubs in Ljubljana, Riga and Athens; six Co-Location Centres are located in Belgium, Finland, France, Italy, Poland and Sweden.
