Sustainable Raw Material Initiatives

The ERMA Booster Call, initiated by EIT RawMaterials, aims to strengthen Europe's raw materials sector by providing funding and support to innovative projects. This call targets start-ups, scale-ups, and mining projects that are active in the raw materials value chain. Eligible projects can receive funding of up to €2.5 million, depending on their stage of development and market relevance. The initiative seeks to enhance Europe's supply chains, reduce dependency on external sources, and promote sustainable practices in the raw materials industry.

Participants in the ERMA Booster Call gain access to expert guidance and Europe's largest network of industry leaders, which can help scale their businesses and address critical raw materials challenges. The call is open to projects that demonstrate market stability, a clear business case, and innovative approaches to raw materials extraction, processing, or recycling. By supporting these projects, EIT RawMaterials aims to drive economic growth, create jobs, and contribute to the European Green Deal's objectives.
