Cleantech for Iberia’s Post

𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀: 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗔 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹 by Cleantech for Europe Last week, European #leaders called for a “new European competitiveness deal.” The reasons are clear: a new #report led by Enrico Letta on the #SingleMarket highlights a range of #challenges facing our #economy, including fragmented #capitalmarkets, unfit #competition rules, international #cleantech competition, and the need to dramatically increase public and private green #investment. Only days before, EVP Maroš Šefčovič took stock of the European Commission’s Clean Transition Dialogues, highlighting the #critical need to boost the #competitiveness of our clean #industries. The case for a renewed #strategy of competitive #sustainability by the #EU with these industries at its heart is stronger than ever. Europe’s cleantech industry could be the driver of this competitiveness deal. Over the last decade, #Europe has gained technological #leadership in #strategic #sectors, from #electrolysers to #batteries, from #windturbines to #greensteel. Innovative #SMEs are striving to scale these #technologies and bring industrial leadership to Europe. However, between #unfair competition from #Chinese #manufacturers, and a #heavilysubsidised #US market, European #companies are at a disadvantage. If Europe fails to scale #strategic clean technologies, we will lose our technological edge and weaken our #energysecurity. The Net-Zero Industry Act (#NZIA), which is being voted on Thursday, 25.4, is a step forwards, but lacks key elements to make Europe “the home of cleantech manufacturing”. And the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (#STEP), itself a downgraded #SovereigntyFund, failed to draw support from EU leaders, leaving a significant cleantech investment gap unfilled. We, the under signed, as cleantech #innovators, #researchers, #civilsociety, #industry #associations and #investors, are calling on you not to let the EU’s cleantech journey end with the #NZIA - and to enact a Cleantech Competitiveness Deal with the following p#riorities: ✅️ Invest at scale now-Europe needs a Cleantech Investment Plan ✅️ Concrete Action Plans for Cleantech Manufacturing in Europe ✅️ Plan for the future- A vision for the next generation of cleantech breakthroughs Without #investment and a new strategic #vision Europe will fall behind in the cleantech #race, risking our future industrial and climate leadership. As we approach the European #elections in June, we call on #candidates across #parties to get serious about securing Europe’s cleantech future. Let’s make cleantech the #successtory of the next five years, and the driver of a re-energised, competitively sustainable Europe.

🙋Today we join forces with Cleantech for Europe, Breakthrough Energy , and Tech for Net Zero in a letter asking the 🇪🇺 for an ambitious [Cleantech Investment Plan] to become the global climate and industrial leader of the next decades. 🌳☀️👩🏭👷🏼 At present, the EU faces an investment gap of upwards of €50 billion to scale just six of the #NetZeroIndustryAct technologies by 2030. Resting on the four pillars below, this [Cleantech Investment Plan] would allow ����🇺 to bridge this investment gap: ✅ Mobilising public guarantees to catalyse private investment 💶 ✅ Unleashing institutional capital to create a step-change in EU cleantech investment 🔬 ✅ Targeting ETS funding to unlock investments in manufacturing of EU cleantech solutions 🔎 ✅ Establishing a European Sovereignty Fund that invests in European cleantech companies and projects that are critical to the EU’s strategic autonomy💡 Read 📑 in full 👇 https://lnkd.in/dtiyvM8q -------------- -------------- European Commission Ursula von der Leyen Maroš Šefčovič #VěraJourová #ValdisDombrovskis Nadia Calviño #MarcosAlonso -------------- --------------

CLEANTECH SECTOR INSIGHTS FOR Q4 2023 🔍 We are happy to share the latest insights from the Baltic cleantech sector for the fourth quarter of 2023. This period was marked by significant events that underscored the sector's global prominence and influence. 🌍 Notably, Cleantech Forum Europe, organised by Cleantech Group, and NEXPO Tallinn brought together professionals from different corners of the world, sparking crucial discussions and collaborations. Furthermore, the highly anticipated COP28 UAE, while criticised by many for its perceived lack of concrete decisions, served as a focal point for negotiations on necessary measures to reduce global emissions. From the cleantech sector point of view, only the energy sector saw a note-worthy increase in ambition. It is now time to leverage the connections established during these high profile events and translate ideas into actionable initiatives. The significance of clean solutions for the well-being of both humanity and the planet should resonate with leaders and policymakers alike. This is particularly important considering the approaching EU elections. The briefing brings you: 🤩 latest news from the Baltic cleantech sector 👀 policy and public support updates 💸 investments into cleantech companies such as HeavyFinance, walk15.app, GREEN GENIUS, Arbonics, UP Catalyst, Naco Technologies, SpirulinaNord, Skeleton Technologies, Elcogen, RAIKU Packaging, Bisly - Building Intelligence Solutions, Woola, and Aerones. & more!

Our new report on cleantech, a joint effort between the European Investment Bank's Economics Department and the European Patent Office (EPO) in Munich, has been officially launched today. The report highlights Europe (still) leading position in cleantech inventions globally, as evidenced by the number of international patent families. Internationally, Japan, the United States and China remain significant players, with China rapidly growing its clean tech sector in recent years.   The report also reveals that Cleantech in Europe faces the typical funding gap and scaling-up challenges inherent to the continent’s innovation landscape, even though this gap is narrower than for overall sectors.   Going forward, a well-functioning EU single market remains a key catalyst for European cleantech innovators to scale up and achieve further growth.   For more insights, we invite you to join us at our online launch event at: https://lnkd.in/g57TnY_v   You can also access our full report here: https://lnkd.in/gAPcKC3t   #Cleantech #EUPolicy #Innovation

⚡️Is Europe losing the race to lead the green future?⚡️ Insightful article👇on this topic by Financial Times quoting Cleantech for Europe data, namely: 📈EU has fallen behind in funding for early-stage clean technologies, with a total of $8.7bn worth of investment going towards start-ups in areas such as #carbonstorage, #electricvehicles and #cleanpower in the year since the #IRA came into force. 💥More than $21.7bn has been committed to similar projects in the US, although the EU pulled ahead in #energy and #transport investments in the second quarter of this year. 🔥The difference was most pronounced for clean #hydrogen, a gas produced using renewables that could help decarbonise heavy industries such as #steel and #cement. #CleantechforIberia is delighted to expand the conversation on this topic on a panel by Financial Times IE Foundation on September 15 at the #HayFestival in Segovia. Our director, Bianca Dragomir will join a timely and insightful debate with Pilita Clark, Financial Times columnist, Jesse Norman, UK Minister for technology and decarbonisation, Gonzalo Delacámara, international expert on water and energy economics, and Frederick Studemann, Financial Times Literary editor. ➡️Join the conversation: https://lnkd.in/d7xqxCRd Geoffroy Gérard Isabela Alcázar PhD Jules Besnainou Suzana Carp Alberto Toril Castro Julia Reinaud Ann Mettler Cleantech Group Breakthrough Energy María Sheila Cremaschi Gonzalo Garland Santiago Íñiguez Concepción Galdon PhD.
