Metals & Minerals, for a sustainable and resilient metals and minerals supply for the societal transition

Metals & Minerals is a part of Sweden's strategic innovation investment for the 2030s – called Impact Innovation. It's an initiative by the Swedish Energy Agency, Formas, Vinnova and the Swedish metals and minerals industry.

Metals & Minerals mission:
Ensuring a sustainable and resilient metals and minerals supply for the societal transition.

The program will increase and secure the availability of metals and minerals and at the same time reduce the planetary footprint of extraction and production. Metals and minerals that are extracted or recycled must generate as much useful function and as little waste as possible.

The program will work for collaboration in the value chain nationally and internationally, design business models, policy proposals and social innovation that pave the way for solutions required to fulfil the mission.

Metals & Minerals is led by Jernkontoret in collaboration with Luleå University of Technology, LTU Business, Sustainable Steel Region, Svemin - the Swedish Association of Mines, Mineral and Metal Producers, The Swedish Foundry Association, Svenskt Aluminium and Örebro University.

The program also engages actors within the manufacturing industry, academia, research institutes, municipalities, regions, industry organisations, trade unions and authorities.
