As we approach the first anniversary of the landmark Antwerp Declaration’s ambitious goal-setting for European industrial competitiveness and the green transition, the challenge of industrial electrification remains at the heart of Europe's decarbonisation journey. The Declaration's vision for industrial transformation, coupled with the implementation of the Clean Industrial Deal and Electrification Action Plan, has set the stage for important discussions about Europe's industrial future.
With industrial electrification currently accounting for 33% of Europe's electricity consumption, the potential for expansion remains significant. The Antwerp Declaration's emphasis on streamlining industrial processes whilst maintaining competitiveness has created new opportunities for accelerating
electrification across sectors. However, key questions remain about implementation, financing, and maintaining European industrial competitiveness.
Join this Euractiv Hybrid Conference to discuss how Europe can leverage industrial electrification to strengthen its competitive position whilst advancing its climate objectives.
