Advanced materials are at the heart of Europe’s transition toward a more efficient, sustainable and competitive industrial landscape. As global geopolitical tensions reshape supply chains and technology markets, strengthening the EU’s capacity to research, innovate and manufacture advanced materials has become a strategic priority.
To address this need, the European Commission is introducing the Advanced Materials Act, a landmark initiative that will outline measures to secure Europe’s open strategic autonomy in advanced materials. By reducing dependencies on critical raw materials and accelerating the uptake of innovative material solutions, the Act aims to bolster Europe’s industrial resilience and long-term competitiveness.
Stakeholders across the innovation ecosystem including researchers, industry leaders, SMEs, and policymakers — are invited to contribute to the ongoing consultation until 13 January 2026.
