The document discusses the European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials (EIP Raw Mat). It aims to reduce import dependency, push Europe to the forefront in raw materials sectors, provide alternatives in supply, and mitigate negative environmental impacts. Key components include technology and non-technology policy areas related to exploration, extraction, processing, recycling, and substitution of raw materials. Broad stakeholders from EU member states and other groups will be involved. Progress since the initiative's start in 2012 is outlined, including the formation of working groups and development of a Strategic Implementation Plan. Finland's mining potential and innovations in areas like cleantech and deep exploration are also briefly highlighted.
