Do you want to make a change for the sake of our future generations? We, at JX Nippon Metals & Mining Group, the leading corporate group in the non-ferrous metals and ceramics industry, understand that we need to change our ways to ensure a future for the generations to come and for our planet. Therefore, we are looking for European Startups with game-changing ideas to help us make a difference!

So, if you are a driven European Startup with big ideas and want to have a part in shaping the future, participate in JX Nippon Metals & Mining Group’s first open innovation challenge by answering the following problem statement:

What is your innovative business idea in Advanced materials, High-performance and Multifunctional materials or Recycling technologies that will improve our Future?

At JX Nippon Mining & Metals Group, we understand that we need to take action if we are to preserve our planet and our next generation’s future.

Therefore, our long-term vision encompasses this with the goal to contribute to the realization of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To achieve our goals, we can leverage the technologies and knowledge we have cultivated over many years as a technology-based company that offers high value-added products and technologies.

However, we would like to go further in our approach and therefore to continue developing game-changing ideas, we created this challenge hoping to create new businesses by working with innovative Startups through a co-creative Research and Development scheme.

Because we believe that by cooperating with innovative people with different mindsets, we can truly create a difference!
