Burak Yaşasın founded @chitolastic with a promising scientific idea — but wasn't sure how to turn it into a real business. @eitjumpstarter changed that. "Before JumpStarter, the biggest barrier was the uncertainty and hesitation that comes with turning a scientific idea into a real business. The program gave us the confidence and courage we needed to take that step." — Burak Yaşasın, Founder, Chitolastic | EIT Jumpstarter 2024 Winner Today, Chitolastic has officially registered as a company, increased its visibility, and started a pilot collaboration — built on the network and mentorship from the programme. 🦾 If this sounds familiar, the EIT Jumpstarter 2026 could be for you. 📅 Application deadline is approaching!

The EIT RawMaterials Summit 2026 agenda is live! 📣 Two days. Five tracks. 16+ sessions built around what it takes to accelerate Europe's competitiveness. Here's what's on the table: 🔒 Strategic — Defence readiness, CRM project finance, and what Japan, Australia and Canada are doing that Europe needs to learn — fast. ♻️ Circular — Circularity as strategic depth, not a sustainability checkbox. Secondary markets, design-for-recovery, and the business case for closing the loop. 🌍 Global — Three Commission Directorates. One room. How Europe's €3bn RESourceEU commitment moves from architecture to action — and how Global Gateway is actually securing supply chains. 💡 Innovation — AI as a materials megatrend. R&D to commercial scale. And the hard question: why does Europe lead on research but struggle to scale? 🎓 People & Skills — Students and early-career professionals from EIT RawMaterials programmes take the stage. They'll tell industry what draws them to materials careers — and what drives them away. Industry should listen. CEOs, ministers, EU officials, and institutional investors are already registered. If you're deploying capital, scaling technology, securing supply or shaping policy, this is the summit you can’t afford to miss. 🔗Explore the full agenda using the link in our bio. #RMSummit2026 #RawMaterials #EITRawMaterials #CriticalRawMaterials #EuropeanUnion
