Inside the first cohort of the European Circular Electronics Kickstart (ECEK)
Europe designs the future of electronics and imports almost everything it needs to build it. Gallium, indium, germanium, silicon, the whole raw base of the microchips that run our cars, our defence systems and our energy grids: most of it arrives from outside our borders, and much of what we throw away leaves before we can recover it. Closing that loop is a project too big for any single company. It needs a value chain, not a champion.
