The Clean Industrial Deal will mobilize over €100 billion to support EU-made clean manufacturing. Today, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen returned to Antwerp to present the initiative. Just one year after the launch of the Antwerp Declaration for a European industrial strategy. This marks an important step in shaping a more competitive, resilient, and sustainable industrial future for Europe.
Advario was represented by Maaike Schipperheijn, Advario CFO, and Nancy De Groof, VP Advario Belgium, reinforcing our commitment to collaboration and progress in the energy and chemicals sector. The Antwerp Declaration has already united industry leaders, trade unions, and policymakers to push for urgent actions to strengthen Europe’s industrial base. Now, the focus shifts to turning these ambitions into reality.
As Europe works to secure affordable, low-carbon energy, drive industrial investment, and ensure a just transition, we need to continue to drive progress together. To restore investment, safeguard jobs, and build a competitive & sustainable Europe, we need:
- A strong business case for investing in Europe
- Concrete steps to restore industrial competitiveness
- Strengthen competitiveness
- Implement the EU Green Deal goals
- Immediate action from EU Heads of State
At Advario, we are committed and ready to support the energy transition through innovation and collaboration, and to accelerating the decarbonization of critical industries. Let’s reinforce the call for action to strengthen Europe’s industrial landscape and ensure a sustainable, competitive future.
