A panel on the Curie Stage at Falling Walls Science House, held as a hybrid Plenary Table session and also available as a livestream. It is put on by Falling Walls with the Boston Consulting Group. The topic is Europe's supply of critical minerals: despite billions invested in diversification, recycling and circularity, dependencies remain high and recycling is not scaling fast enough. Europe's scientific strength could boost resilience and value creation through local resources, greater circularity and efficiency, and materials innovation, including AI-discovered materials.
