The Mining Cluster was born in Castile and León, one of the main mining regions of Europe, but has a national and international dimension. It is a development model that consolidates the strengths of the industrial and service regions characteristic of these territories and promotes sustained economic growth.

The constitution of this Mining Cluster is strategic for Castilla y León and its international dimension that has already aroused the interest of European entities such as the EIT through the KIC in Raw Materials. Europe considers clusters as vehicles for wealth generation and collaborative cross-border tools for development in key areas.

The objective of the Mining Cluster is to generate wealth and this will translate into new opportunities and jobs in the sector of sustainable mining of new materials in the medium and long term.

The Icamcyl Foundation will present next week the Mining Cluster, which will bring together more than thirty companies (and continue to join) to join efforts in R&D, international projects and business opportunities for the mining and raw materials sector.

The Cluster was born in Castile and León, but has a national and international dimension. This figure is a development model that increases competitiveness and promotes sustained economic growth, as well as new services and opportunities for businesses. Clusters in Europe are a vehicle for innovation and wealth generation, as well as a collaborative cross-border tool for development in key areas.

The Mining Cluster that we will present is strategic for Castile and León, and therefore has the support of the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the Junta de Castilla y León. But not only that, but it has already aroused the interest of European reference entities such as the EIT (European Institute of Technology based in Budapest) through the KIC (Knowledge Communities to innovation) in raw materials.

The Leon Technology Park hosted the official presentation of the Mining Cluster established under the auspices of the Icamcyl Foundation and of which almost 40 companies from the sector are already part, which will join efforts in research and development, international projects and business opportunities to drive a new sustainable mining. All this based on critical materials essential for the industry and keys to the European industry.

In this regard, the main objective of the new Cluster is to become a vehicle to improve business competitiveness and contribute to the ecosystem of innovation, shared knowledge and integration of technological solutions within a new European context for connecting the mining regions of the continent. This, together with the boom of raw materials that avoid the industry’s dependence on foreign resources” will allow the recovery in the basins of a sustainable mining activity through local companies that move their activity to a new mining of critical materials essential to the industry and key to the European industrial heart.
