🕓 11:45 - 12:15 Panel: "Research and innovation policies for Europe to achieve complete value chains for NZE2050".
Europe's ambitious climate targets for 2030 and 2050 require significant investment in clean energy technology. To reduce reliance on imports and foster self-sufficiency, the EU and US are ramping up efforts to bolster domestic manufacturing. Strategies like the Net-zero Industry Act aim to bring critical knowledge and production back home, advancing sustainability goals.
Questions to be explored
⚡ In a world that is becoming increasingly de-globalized, how should the EU respond to the foreign policy dynamics between China and the US, particularly concerning their ambitions to foster industrial and technological development within Europe?
⚡ What strategies should the EU prioritize to establish complete value chains in both materials and technologies?
⚡ What research and innovation policies are imperative for Europe to achieve its industrial development goals and reach Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2050?
