In a new era marked by climate disruptions, geopolitical conflicts and economic tensions, fundamental questions arise: do we still need industry in Europe? Or can the EU rely solely on fragmented value chains for its strategic autonomy? As the EU strives for peace, prosperity and security for its citizens in the next five years and beyond, can it afford to depend on third countries for critical clean technologies essential to the green transition?

Consider nickel, lithium, ferrous scrap, steel, renewables, hydrogen, batteries, electric vehicles, high tech machineries, defence and medical equipment, transportation and energy infrastructure, and more. Though seemingly disparate, all these components share a vital link: each is integral to a unified value chain, wherein the strength of the whole hinges on the resilience of its individual parts.

Can the EU’s resilience be imported or only come from within?

Join this EUROFER Conference to discuss thought-provoking questions with high-level EU representatives and policymakers tasked with aligning industrial policy to the green transition, CEOs, business leaders and leading researchers, representing the entire manufacturing value chain - from raw materials and steel to renewables and automotive.

At a crucial time just before the commencement of a new EU cycle, panellists will exchange views on:
- The urgent need for a new industrial policy ensuring a robust business case for decarbonisation investments in the EU across the full value chain;
- The key ingredients to maintain European industry’s competitiveness on global markets, starting from access to affordable clean energy;
- The critical role of robust trade measures to tackle overcapacity, ensure a level playing field and avert deindustrialisation.
