The European chemical industry is facing challenging times as the transition towards a net-zero and circular economy is at full swing, and at the same time competitiveness of European industry is at stake. It is a delicate balance to create a world leading industry outperforming in sustainability on the one hand, and to provide a competitive investment climate and strategic autonomy for Europe on the other. The trilateral chemical strategy aims to facilitate this dual ambition.
In the aftermath of European elections, we invite CEOs, directors and policy makers from the trilateral industrial region of North Rhine-Westphalia, Flanders and The Netherlands and from the European Commission, for the trilateral event ‘Chemical industry as the basis for a prosperous and sustainable Europe’. The event will address:
- State of play of transition finance in the EU
- Creating a level playing field for investments in green chemistry by market regulation
- Remaining competitive in times of transition: experiences from companies throughout the value chain
- Discussion with director generals of economic affairs of the regions
- Discussion with members of parliament
- Address by the European Commission
- Gallery of the main trilogy projects
