The European Green Deal has defined the strategy for the development of a globally competitive, resilient and carbon neutral industry by 2050. The European industry is keen to become a front runner of decarbonisation through clean tech solutions with breakthrough technologies and innovative business models which challenge industries’ paradigms. This requires, however, an enabling regulatory framework and investment from both the public and private sectors. The European Commission has launched the EU Innovation Fund programme, one of the world’s largest grant funding programmes for the demonstration of first-of-a-kind low-carbon technologies to support European industries.

The Innovation Fund is 100% funded by the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) and is expected to provide around EUR 38 billion of support during the period from 2020 to 2030 (depending on carbon price), for the commercial demonstration of innovative low-carbon technologies, aiming to bring to the market industrial solutions that help decarbonise Europe and support its transition to climate neutrality.

The conference builds on the outcomes of the first Financing Innovative Clean Tech conference, held in 2020, designed to raise awareness among the community of public and private financiers about the many business opportunities brought about by the EU Innovation Fund and to promote dialogue with industry.

Description

view of industry — Financing Innovative Clean Tech Conference

The objectives of this year’s conference are:

To debate how to accelerate the decarbonisation of European industrial sectors by notably attracting private investment in clean technologies
To highlight the benefits of investing in clean tech and diversifying the global supply chain to reduce risks of disruption.

To inspire future applicants to invest in decarbonisation projects, which in turn can boost economic growth and reinforce European technological leadership on a global scale.
To work as a knowledge sharing forum and inspire other industrial actors.
To present and sign the project grant agreements awarded under the second large-scale call for large-scale projects.

The conference will gather European policy makers, investors, stakeholders as well as major market players in their respective industries.

In parallel to the conference, EIB wants to meet you!
