Cleantech is competitiveness

Cleantech is the key to Europe’s decarbonization, energy autonomy and economic competitiveness. Europe can decarbonize and achieve industrial leadership by fostering demand for clean technologies, improving the financial environment, and create opportunities for all member states, including high-quality jobs and a better quality of life for its citizens.

Cleantech

The EU has developed most of the technologies it needs to get to net zero, reach energy security and build the industry of the next century.
Now is the time to scale them, deploy them widely and grow a new, greener economy. This is not a partisan issue – it’s our generation’s opportunity for a better future.
To succeed, Members of the European Parliament are coming together across party lines to promote the EU’s global cleantech leadership.
