Powering Europe's competitiveness: delivering clean energy and infrastructure for growth

REGISTER HERE



Europe faces a defining economic challenge: how to strengthen competitiveness and industrial resilience while staying on course for decarbonisation.

As policymakers implement the EU’s competitiveness agenda – from the Competitiveness Compass to the Clean Industrial Deal and the evolving “Made in Europe” agenda – attention is increasingly turning to a critical question: how can Europe accelerate investment in the infrastructure needed to power both the green and digital transitions?

Affordable, reliable and sustainable energy, modern grids, electrified transport and stronger digital infrastructure are no longer climate issues alone – they are central to Europe’s economic future, industrial strategy and long-term resilience.

Yet significant barriers remain. Europe continues to face investment gaps in low-carbon technologies, power infrastructure and transport systems, while businesses seek greater regulatory clarity and faster deployment pathways.

How can Europe create the right conditions for investment at scale? What role should industry, policymakers and regulators play in accelerating delivery? And how can Europe turn decarbonisation into a competitive advantage?

Join this Euractiv Hybrid Conference bringing together senior policymakers, industry leaders and economists to explore how Europe can unlock investment, strengthen resilience and accelerate deployment across energy, transport and infrastructure. Key questions to be addressed include:

• How can clean technology investment strengthen Europe’s competitiveness and industrial base?
• What role should public-private collaboration play in scaling energy, transport and digital infrastructure?
• What regulatory barriers are slowing deployment – and where is simplification most needed?
• How can Europe ensure decarbonisation supports both economic growth and strategic resilience?
