MEP Henna Virkkunen , Member of Parliament Sofia Vikman and active developer of Pirkanmaa Jocka Träskbäck visited @Kiilto in Lempäälä. Interesting discussions about our Promise to the Environment, innovations, business outlook and workforce availability. It’s important to share these topics with political decisionmakers. Great to see that they show interest towards our industry! #Sustainability #PromisetotheEnvironment 

⭐ It was great to have so many Renovate Europe partners around the table yesterday for our Steering Group & National Plenary meetings. On the agenda was: adopting the budget, formulating our election campaign, presenting our 2024 action plan, and much much more.   🎉 We’ve already been busy this year working away on various projects. Firstly, work has started on the LIFE Programme funded EPBD.wise project, which supports policymakers with the Buildings Directive in pilot European countries. Secondly, we have just launched a second project on capacity-building and EPBD implementation with 6 of our national partners (more info to be shared soon!).   ❗We are also delighted to be the knowledge partner for the new #RenovationRevolution initiative led by the Climate Group, and 5 corporate partners.    ➡ We are waiting to hear back on other projects, so stay tuned!   💡 As you can tell, 2024 is in full swing in the Renovate Europe office, and we’re looking forward to all the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.   🤝 Thanks to all for coming and for your active participation – it was a pleasure as always. #acceleraterenovation #prioritisepeople #energyefficiency

📊 Great to see the increased focus on boosting industrial competitiveness and improving access to affordable green energy in European Commission President von der Leyen's 2024-2029 political guidelines! These are two things we must get right for Europe to continue leading the way in sustainability while not compromising its strategic autonomy.

It's great to see the key tasks for the next EU Commission and Parliament: #SocialJustice, #EconomicStability and #NetZero covered in today's @FriendsofEurope lunch time event. Transforming the built environment will support all three. BPIE - Buildings Performance Institute Europe #FoeDebate

🌟 DBG at the round table with the Port of Amsterdam and US Senator.   We had the privilege of participating in a round table discussion alongside the Port of Amsterdam and the esteemed US Senator Tammy Duckworth 🇺🇲. Kudos to our stellar representative, Maikel Petersen!   📈 Here are some key takeaways: 🇺🇲 The US Inflation Reduction Act aims to strengthen US-Europe ties, fostering tech import, knowledge exchange, and sustainable solutions. 🔋 Illinois joins the Midwest #hydrogen Hub, a monumental step towards decarbonization, cutting emissions by 3.9M metric tons yearly. 🌿 We addressed roadblocks to progress and expansion, exploring innovative local solutions and measures to reduce #carbonfootprints.   Special thanks to the Port of Amsterdam authorities for inviting us to take part in these talks. It has been very insightful to hear what the current demands are, as well as motivating to see the potential that DBG projects can also have overseas.    #Collaboration #Sustainability #US_EuropeRelations #HydrogenHub #Innovation #PortofAmsterdam #DBGCommunity #EnvironmentalImpact #USinflationreductionact #energy #circulareconomy #internationalcollaboration #paperindustry 🌍🔬🔋

Yesterday the European Commission organized the INDUSTRY 5.0 hearing, forget to invite the man to whom the original paper on integration of INDUSTRY 5.0 into the EUROPEAN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK refers as MICHAEL RADA, INDUSTRY 5.0 DEFINITION. The result can be understood as evidence. https://lnkd.in/esbnfeDz INDUSTRY 5.0 AMBASSADORS NETWORK Industry 5.0 INDUSTRY 5.0 STRATEGIC ALLIANCE

Last Thursday, the European Commission organised a roundtable event on the mobility transition pathway. As highlighted during the event, the publication will lay the foundations for the new European Commission to built upon. The significant importance of RD&I for the green, digital and competitive transition has been highlighted frequently during the event. These elements are all included in the long-term strategy of the WaterborneTP. Let's pave the way for future RD&I and the deployment of innovations to facilitate a European zero-emission, digital and competitive waterborne transport sector. #horizoneurope #EUPartnerships

Earlier this week, European Commission President von der Leyen unveiled her team of Commissioners and their portfolios. As the new Commission takes shape, we are encouraged by the fact that decarbonisation continues to feature prominently among its policy priorities, as outlined in the Mission Letters to the Commissioners. Key highlights for us include the introduction of a Clean Industrial Deal and an Industrial Decarbonization Accelerator Act, advancing the Industrial Carbon Management Strategy, and plans to roll-out hydrogen infrastructure. At Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, we are dedicated to supporting the EU's industrial decarbonization efforts with our expertise in hydrogen and CCUS technologies. We look forward to the Commission officially taking office following the European Parliament hearings!

All eyes on 🇪🇺 today as President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled her next proposed College of Commissioners. A few reflections: 🌍 A Clean, Just and Competitive Transition is really at the centre of the upcoming Commission. It’s reassuring to see that the work on the Green Deal will continue in the new mandate, with a stronger focus on competitiveness and people – a reflection of the time we’re in, as von der Leyen outlined 🏡 I’m super excited that housing, circular economy, clean growth, and people have been singled out in the portfolios. All key drivers for a more competitive, resilient, and healthy economy., with the built environment at the heart of it. AND a huge congratulations to Dan Jørgensen 🇪🇺 extraordinary knowledgeable and passionate about the green transition. Combining Energy and Housing is key to delivering on the 2030 targets and beyond, and at the same time ensure affordable, energy efficient and healthy buildings to all Europeans! Next steps: the hearings in the European Parliament. Here’s to hoping we’ll have a new European Commission up and running quickly. There’s so much to do – let’s get going! #EUelections2024 #EuropeanCommission #dkpol VELUX
