13:45-14:00President von der Leyen put Europe’s sustainable prosperity and competitiveness at the top of her political agenda for 2024-2029. In this context, she pledged to launch a Clean Industrial Deal in the first 100 days of the new mandate. At this event the panelists discussed the potential shape of this new initiative, with a particular focus on the necessary EU policy toolkit to support clean tech manufacturing and industrial decarbonisation. New data from Bruegel’s European Clean Tech Tracker served as an input to the discussion.
