The EU LEADER 2030 project, coordinated by the ERCI – European Railway Clusters Initiative, aims to strengthen the resilience and strategic autonomy of European supply chains for the rail industry, particularly with regard to raw materials, components, and key technologies. Through analyses of structural dependencies and concrete industry- and policy-oriented recommendations for action, the project seeks to build more robust and innovation-capable European supply chains. This also includes securing access to raw materials.
Please submit your recommendations
Alongside the publication of the report, an online consultation is being conducted until 28 February 2026, during which you can review the report and contribute further recommendation to prepare the European Rail Value Chain – both as a coordinated system, and at individual company level – to reduce the identified risks, as well as to strengthen raw material and technology sovereignty. Since many components and technologies are cross-sectoral—just like raw material security itself—it is worthwhile to engage with the report from the perspective of your own portfolio and do this by uploading your position document on the consultation platform survey.
