The European Union’s upcoming Clean Industrial Deal is set to become a cornerstone of the next European Commission’s economic agenda. At its core lies a dual ambition: to strengthen Europe’s competitiveness in the industries of the future, and to support its industrial base through the transition to a decarbonised economy.
Both goals, however, are under mounting pressure - from the outside through aggressive industrial strategies from third countries and especially China and intensifying global trade tensions; and from within, as political backlash against the green transition grows across parts of the European Union.
Together with our partners from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and Kiel Institute for the World Economy (lfW Kiel) we are, therefore, thrilled to invite you to a high-level conversation with Teresa Ribera, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission, to explore what it will take to implement an effective and future-proof industrial strategy for Europe.
Key topics of discussion:
• How can the EU defend its industrial interests on the global stage?
• What does a modern and assertive industrial policy look like?
• How should responsibilities be balanced between Brussels and member states?
• What role must the next German government play to support the Clean Industrial Deal?
