Magellan Project: Building Strategic Synergies Across the Electrical Manufacturing Value Chain

The Magellan Project, co-funded by the European Union, represents a significant opportunity to unlock new collaboration models across the electrical manufacturing ecosystem. This session will explore how strategic alignment, raw material intelligence, and cross-sector partnerships can drive innovation, strengthen resilience, and enhance competitiveness. 

With a particular focus on critical materials such as high-performance magnets, the discussion will address how the industry can navigate supply chain dependencies and volatility while supporting the transition to advanced electrification technologies, while also integrating principles of circularity and recycling to enhance overall sustainability. 


The session would explore: 
  • The strategic vision behind the Magellan Project and its relevance to CWIEME stakeholders  
  • Raw material intelligence, including high-performance magnets, and its role in strengthening supply chain resilience  
  • Identifying high-impact synergies across OEMs, suppliers, and technology partners  
  • Turning collaboration into competitive advantage: practical pathways for building a more resilient and future-ready value chain
