How can we use technologies as forces for good? With that question in mind, I've been supporting more and more projects related to Climate Change and Politics over the recent years, and in that journey I met Duarte Costa, future euro-candidate that made me aware of Volt Portugal, a progressive Pan-European party (Volt Europa) that has social-liberalism as it's philosophy, with sustainability and innovation in it's core. In a short time after joining the party, I was very pleased to be invited by Simone Franke yesterday to share a few insights on how to grow political campaigns using Artificial Intelligence and social media automation (a fair one, to increase awareness and dialogue, not the manipulative kind). We've been discussing about synthetic data for policy making, chatbots for the population to ask about the party values and programs, chatbots to support candidates and campaign staff, among other ideas that only a young party, with a real will to change the status quo can welcome. Thanks Duarte, Nina, Tânia Girão, Inês Bravo Figueiredo, Luís Almeida Fernandes and all the members for energizing me again with politics! #politics #innovation #portugal #artificialintelligence

📍 Which role will the #Export have in the future? Let’s think BEYOND THE BOX! This is the main topic of the Österreichischer #Exporttag2024, started this morning in Vienna. 🔎 Among the inspiring speeches we heard this morning, Mr. Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA) underlined that the future of #industry belongs to 🍀 #cleanenergy, and this must be the core of a new industrial policy. 🇪🇺 #Europe may have erred in relying on a single energy source from Russia, resulting in energy costs that are up to four times higher than the global average. Therefore, Europe needs a new Industrial #Masterplan. 💡 As EUMICON, we hope that the new European Commission will set as one of its priorities to have an Industrial Masterplan and to secure #competitiveness for the #energy #rawmaterials industries. Globally, new clean energy enables Europe to deliver fast the #green #transition with globally competitive prices. 🙏 A heartfelt thank you to the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber, and its President Mr. Harald Mahrer, for hosting us at such an inspiring event.

Ready to bring sustainable ideas to life? 🌱💡   The ZVEI e. V. is presenting this year's #eSummit on May 16 and 17. This is the most important congress of the electrical and digital industry. Under the motto “The future is electric”, not only familiar faces from politics, but also representatives from business and science are expected.   But why is it so essential to have speakers from all these areas for a discussion about the opportunities and current challenges facing our industry?   Because it takes a united effort to realistically implement #electrifyingideas. 🤝 For example, to realize the future vision of the #AllElectricSociety — a society where all energy is generated from renewable resources and then converted into electricity — a seamless collaboration and holistic thinking across Industry, Mobility, Energy, Infrastructure and Agriculture is required. 🏭🚗⚡🏙️🚜   Whether the aim is to strengthen Europe as a business location or to think ahead in terms of global politics, an electric future must be thought through in a strategic and socially sustainable way. From trade policy and technological progress to digital work skills, there will be numerous inspiring talks and panel discussions.   In addition, established companies as well as newcomers pitch their innovations and solutions that take into account the efficient use of energy and resources and are intended to benefit society. Live at Kosmos Berlin, Robert Habeck will then hand out the Electrifying-Ideas-Award. 🏅   As a member of the ZVEI Executive Board, I am keeping my fingers crossed for all participants and am eagerly awaiting the winner yet again this year. 🤞😊 It is important to create incentives of this kind to keep the conversation going on this important topic and, of course, to move from talk to action!   With the support of many partners, concentrated expertise as well as years of experience in the industry, I would like to draw attention to the fact that great, sustainable ideas are not too far-fetched, but tangible! 🤜🤛 🚀   #sustainability #HARTING

Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (#IEA), has put it in a nutshell: The first priority of the new #EU #Commission is to make #electricity available at competitive prices with all its energy and speed. Electricity prices in the EU are four times higher than in the USA and China. This threatens the energy-intensive #mining and #metals #industry in #Europe and runs counter to the goal of strengthening Europe's #autonomy. Rapid action and a European Industrial #Masterplan are required! It was a great event Wirtschaftskammer Österreich! #Exporttag2024

🙌 We would like to thank Science|Business for presenting BATT4EU, and our strategy and ambitions for the future of the European Battery R&I community! The BATT4EU partnership was launched in 2021 to mobilise €925 million in #funding for battery R&I. Since then, the sector has undergone great changes which required an updated strategy, through the #SRIA2024, to help coordinate funding efforts and maximize their impact. The SRIA will be implemented in the first calls of Work programme 2025, which will be published in spring 2025. The Partnership is committed to increasing coordination and achieving more of the strategic actions presented in the #SRIA2024, while also increasing collaboration within the ecosystem to enhance the expected impact. BEPA's Executive Director @Wouter IJzermans explained that “We’re looking on both sides to see how we can maximise our impact and fully realise what’s in the SRIA”.

🖋 With the shaping of the next European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation #FP10, #FuelsEurope together with more than 100 other European associations representing key European Research, Development and Innovation #RD&I stakeholders, signed a joint statement urging EU Institutions to significantly increase the current RD&I budget and make pan-European collaborative #research the cornerstone of this programme. 🌍 While the technology race accelerates globally, the EU significantly lags behind in terms of investments in RD&I compared to global competitors. For the sake of its long-term competitiveness, the EU needs to do more to attract and retain private RD&I investments in Europe. Public RD&I investments enabled through the EU Framework Programme will be crucial to lower the investment risks for the industry 🔍. By pooling resources and expertise through this programme, Member States and the EEA countries, industry, RTOs and academia aim to tackle complex challenges collectively, thus accelerating the pace of technology maturation and innovation and supporting the EU positioning in today’s technology race. ⚙ To further support EU #competitiveness, FP10 must focus on cross-border collaborative RD&I, with a strong industrial participation. The second Pillar of the programme is the only truly collaborative part of the FP today, breaking silos to promote the flow of knowledge between and within the private and public sectors as well as between basic and applied research. The activities in Pillar II will also need to be driven by strategic EU priorities and clearly defined industrial needs. The signatories are ready to further discuss the design of FP10 with the EU Institutions. We are fully convinced that Europe has much better potential in the global innovation race than what it is currently performing. To remain a model of economic and social prosperity, Europe needs to strongly invest in pan-European collaborative RD&I fostering collaboration, driving technology maturation and innovation, and leveraging the expertise of RD&I public and private actors to strengthen its competitiveness and assert its leadership in key technological domains, as well as pave the way for a prosperous and sustainable future.

In the transition toward decarbonized sectors such as #energy and #transport Europe needs to take a decisive step. 🔋 🎯 To achieve this goal a European battery ecosystem with scaled production and circular supply chains can help. The role of access to critical technologies including battery materials and cells has returned to centre stage, as these transitions are now being driven by international crises and traditional alliances have become more fragile. 🌏 Our new report funded by Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung analyses the different battery policies and targets of Japan, South Korea, China, the U.S., Europe and Germany with focus on three battery technologies: Lithium-ion, solid-state and alternative batteries. ⏩ This international comparison between the leading countries helps to define Europe’s and Germany’s specific battery policy strategies for the future. 💡 These are the major findings: ▶ All countries have goals directly related to the development of a complete value chain for batteries to become less dependent on international supply chains. ▶ They all have set goals regarding the electrification of mobility and the upscaling of production capacities for advanced battery technologies. ▶ Another common goal is climate neutrality by 2045 (Germany) or 2050, with the exception of China (2060), but specific objectives regarding sustainability and recycling of batteries vary between the countries. ▶ All countries have strengthened their public R&D funding since 2014 and many of them have experienced a rapid expansion. The funding has doubled or even tripled for the countries compared to the level of funding before 2020. ▶ Each country uses a different number of key performance indicators (KPIs) with different degrees of feasibility. According to Project Leader Dr. Axel Thielmann future strategies should rely more on KPIs, include alternative battery technologies and prioritize the monitoring of the status quo and the development of the global situation, which can help creating a countrie's own and unique strategy.
