EIP – novel concept

• Speed up breakthrough innovations

• by pooling resources through a challenge-driven approach

• and acting across research and innovation cycle

• bringing together all relevant actors to connect supply and demand side for a societal challenge, covering much more than R&D

• Innovation required for the entire value chain of raw materials – industrial approach

• Exploration, exploitation, processing, using, recycling, substitution, etc.

• Sectors: mining, engineering, pulp and paper, product design, robotics, etc.

Commission adopted the proposal for an Innovation

Partnership on raw materials on 29 February 2012 COM(2012) 82 final
