New Industrial Strategy for Europe | Prague European Summit 2022

Can Europe Emerge from the Shadows of Washington and Beijing through the Twin Transformations?

The New Industrial Strategy for Europe is the cornerstone strategy aimed at
strengthening industrial competitiveness amidst the twin transformations. However, the path to resilience remains mired in apprehension as industries weigh the consequences of first-mover disadvantages against the eventual benefits of positioning themselves towards the markets of tomorrow.

1) How can the industrial transition be accelerated while ensuring competitiveness in the global markets?
2) How can the EU uphold a global level playing field while decarbonizing?
3) How can practices on industrial decarbonisation best be shared across the EU?
4) How can the EU provide certainty for and inspire industry stakeholders to become more active in green and digital transformations?
