PERMANET at the Innovation Summit 2026 in Zaragoza

PERMANET was featured during the Innovation Summit 2026, held in Zaragoza on 19–20 February, a key event that brought together industry leaders, institutions and European projects working to advance sustainable mining and strategic raw materials in Europe.

During the summit, PERMANET was presented by ISMC alongside other successful European initiatives. The presentation highlighted the role of the PERMANET network in building a dedicated Permanent Magnet (PM) Investors Forum, aimed at supporting the identification of challenges and opportunities for financing permanent magnet value chains and strengthening collaborative research and innovation across Europe’s raw materials ecosystem.

Events such as the Innovation Summit provide an important platform to connect investment and industry communities with technical and innovation hub ecosystems. These interactions help enable commercialisation pathways, investor matchmaking with innovative projects, and strategic financing for value-chain expansion in the raw materials sector.

The summit also served as a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas, showcase project progress and foster new partnerships, reinforcing the role of collaboration in building a more innovative, competitive and sustainable European mining sector.
