ECGA is pleased to confirm that Katarzyna Palaczanis will be speaking at Graphene Connect 2026, a live online event dedicated to graphene, 2D materials and carbon nanotubes.
Taking place on 11-12 March 2026 via TechBlick’s virtual event platform, the programme brings together innovators across the carbon materials ecosystem to explore research progress, advanced manufacturing and emerging applications. The event is organised in partnership with Graphene-Info.
Presentation spotlight: Advanced Carbon & Graphite in Europe: Trends, Opportunities, and Challenges
In her presentation, Ms Palaczanis will provide a policy and market overview of the European advanced carbon and graphite ecosystem, with a particular focus on its relevance for graphene producers.
The presentation will:
1. Introduce ECGA and its role in representing the interests of the sector at EU level.
2. Outline the European landscape for carbon and graphite materials, including key applications, demand trends and supply-chain dynamics.
3. Highlight the EU’s strategic ambitions and policy initiatives affecting advanced carbon materials – particularly those shaping market opportunities, sustainability requirements and industrial competitiveness for graphene producers in Europe.
Why this matters for the graphene community
As the graphene and 2D materials landscape matures, market development increasingly depends on dependable supply chains, scalable production, and alignment with evolving European policy priorities. Graphene Connect 2026 provides a timely forum to connect industrial and research perspectives and discuss the pathways to commercialisation across a fast-evolving ecosystem.
