The CRMA technology context for key technologies instrumental to green and digital transitions, defence, and aerospace applications.
Strategic technologies explain why certain raw materials receive strategic attention under the CRMA. The term is not a list of individual products and not a standalone product-passport requirement. It frames the technology areas that depend on secure and sustainable supplies of strategic raw materials, including battery, electrification, renewable-energy, digital, defence, and aerospace contexts.
This page is anchored in CRMA Article 2, point 30. It frames key technology areas for green, digital, defence, and aerospace transitions, and links to selected CRMA end-use equipment and permanent-magnet component terms without turning those pages into product-compliance claims.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1252 establishing a framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials

Implementation records should capture the technology category, raw-material dependency, end-use equipment link, strategic-context note, product family, component relationship, evidence source, and distinction from product compliance, Annex material lists, or passport obligations.
Strategic technologies is an industrial-context control: the evidence consequence is that material records can be connected to green, digital, defence, and aerospace demand drivers without turning the technology category into a product list or compliance claim.
