Powering European Industry conference: Urgent call for a new industrial strategy

On October 28-29, industry leaders and policymakers from across Europe gathered in Sønderborg, Denmark, for the Powering European Industry conference. The conference discussed necessary strategies and action to reinvigorate European competitiveness. It was hosted jointly by our Danish member DI, Danfoss, the International Energy Agency and BusinessEurope. “Securing energy at competitive prices is central to preserving Europe’s industrial base and ensuring global competitiveness for European companies,” said our Director General Markus J. Beyrer. The high energy costs place Europe at a significant disadvantage compared to other major economies, underlined our recent energy study, conducted in partnership with Compass Lexecon.
