With the Clean Industrial Deal, the European Commission has reaffirmed that competitiveness and decarbonization are mutually reinforcing. But as the EU decides which industries and technologies to bet on in the global industrial race, it must balance the priorities and economic models of its Member States – should the EU prioritise the decarbonisation of energy intensive industries, or should it build leadership in a new generation of cleantech? In a situation with limited EU resources, competing political objectives and many Member States looking into a prolonged period of difficult fiscal prioritisation, this question will only become more relevant.
Guiding questions:
- How can the Commission design policies that strike the right balance between supporting the green transition, improving the competitiveness of legacy industries, and providing proper incentives for innovation?
- How can EU policy ensure the necessary demand-side signals for net-zero technologies and build the value chains underpinning them?
- How does the EU mobilise the needed level of public and private investments to position the EU at the forefront of the global clean industrial race?
