Today we throwback to #innovationday and what better way to celebrate it than giving future generations the opportunity to discover the importance of STEM. Thanks to our collaboration with JINC België, we gave students from the elementary school De Puzzel a unique 'lighting internship'. Together we explored the world of precious metals and sustainability through fun and interactive activities. Let's encourage the next generation of talent to pursue a career in STEM! #UmicoreYoungTalent

We’re fully charged for Battery Day! 🔋  Did you know that Cathode Active Materials are at the heart of an electric vehicle? They determine the safety, driving range, CO2 footprint and durability.  Find out more in this video.

In our 2023 Full Year Results we demonstrated our ability to deliver strong cash flows and margins in a tough year, while significantly stepping up investments for future growth. We reached significant strategic milestones across our activities – including a strong and diversified orderbook in #BatteryMaterials and securing substantial government grants for our expansions in Europe and North America amounting close to €1 billion.
