Europe’s energy transition is increasingly becoming an industrial policy challenge as well as a decarbonization one. This webinar will explore the EU’s growing “Made in Europe” approach across key technologies such as wind, solar, batteries and EVs, as policymakers seek to strengthen domestic manufacturing and reduce dependence on foreign supply chains, particularly China. It will assess whether measures such as European-preference and local-content requirements can boost Europe’s clean-tech industry, or whether they risk increasing costs and limiting access to cheaper technologies. Ultimately, can Europe protect its own manufacturing base while keeping its energy transition affordable and competitive?
