About

Ainnovalab connects industrial validation opportunities in Kazakhstan and Central Asia with European technology providers, research organisations and consortia. We seek partners for pilot-scale solutions in critical raw materials processing, recovery from industrial residues and tailings, sustainable metallurgy, circular value chains, and digital twins/AI for process optimisation.

Priority pathways include innovative CRM processing, reducing dependencies on critical and strategic raw materials, and commercialisation of Horizon-generated results. We can contribute industrial problem definitions, access to relevant industrial partners, validation pathways and EU–Central Asia market insight. Confidential technical data and validation arrangements would be agreed bilaterally.
