The world has entered a new era of critical minerals, and Uzbekistan is striving to secure 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 Uzbekistan Technological Metals Plant (TMK) officially joined the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA). This step has strengthened Uzbekistan's position in the global critical minerals market.
ERMA is a key platform that shapes the resource policy of European industry and ensures reliable supplies of lithium, tungsten, molybdenum, and rare earth elements. The alliance plays a crucial role in Europe's transition to "green" technologies and the energy of the future.
"We look forward to working with TMK to achieve ERMA's goals, as well as to strengthen cooperation between the European Union and Uzbekistan," said ERMA Director Massimo Gasparon.
Membership in ERMA will elevate TMK to a new level:
• financial mechanisms will be expanded through European grants and investments,
• joint research will be conducted and innovations will be implemented with leading European centers,
• TMK products will gain additional opportunities to enter the international market with even higher quality standards.
This partnership will transform Uzbekistan from a mere resource supplier into a full-fledged innovative partner for global industry!
