Programme

Reaching the EU’s energy ambitions in the face of ongoing challenges.

In the context of a geopolitical crisis, preserving the EU Green Deal and the clean energy targets while maintaining a strong industrial ecosystem is crucial. The EU’s ability to respond to emerging issues—like price volatility and supply chain disruptions—and the capacity of European businesses to build up the conviction that solutions are in Europe and that Europe is the solution.
