We wholeheartedly welcome the announcement of a Clean Industrial Deal and a European Competitiveness Fund and congratulate Ursula von der Leyen on her re-election as President of the European Commission 👏. Six months since the European Industry Summit, the collective voice of 25 industrial sectors represented by nearly 1,300 stakeholders that signed the Antwerp Declaration has been heard loud and clear. A Clean Industrial Deal will safeguard the competitiveness of Europe’s energy-intensive industries and allow us to achieve our common aspirations to implement the #EUGreenDeal 🌍. We look forward to working with the new European Commission on these initiatives towards a greener, prosperous, and more competitive Europe. Together, we can ensure that the future of clean and cutting-edge technology is made in Europe 🦾. We are grateful for the acknowledgement of our call for an Industrial Deal as outlined in the #AntwerpDeclaration 📜. “The fundamentals of the global economy are changing and those who are not competitive will be dependent ⚙️. The future of our prosperity must be made in Europe.” #IndustrialDeal #EuropesChoice #EPlenary European Parliament

Innovation, policy alignment, and collaboration are key to achieving our hydrogen and climate goals for 2030 and beyond. These were some of the key outcomes from #ACHEMA24 during Cefic sessions on Hydrogen. 🌍💧 The transition to a hydrogen economy is vital for achieving climate neutrality and sustainability goals in Europe. Despite advancements, challenges remain, such as technology scale-up, regulatory certainty, and the need for product-level certification.
