Uzbekistan has joined the European Alliance for Critical Raw Materials!

The world has entered a new era of critical minerals, and Uzbekistan is seeking to occupy a key position in this process.

Last year, the European Union and Uzbekistan signed a memorandum of understanding in the field of critical raw materials. Today, the Uzbek Technological Metals Plant (TMK) officially joined the European Critical Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA). This move strengthens Uzbekistan's position in the global critical minerals market.

ERMA is a key platform shaping the resource policy of European industry and ensuring reliable supplies of lithium, tungsten, molybdenum and rare earth elements. The Alliance plays a critical role in Europe's transition to green technologies and the energy future.

“We look forward to working together with TMK to realize the goals of ERMA, as well as to strengthen cooperation between the European Union and Uzbekistan,” said ERMA Director Massimo Gasparon.

ERMA Membership will take TMK to a new level:

• financial mechanisms will be expanded through European grants and investments,

• joint research will be carried out and innovations will be introduced with leading European centers,

• TMK products will receive additional opportunities to enter the international market with even higher quality standards.

This partnership will transform Uzbekistan from a simple supplier of resources into a full-fledged innovative partner of global industry!
