High-level meeting of the Clean Energy Industrial Forum

Following the relaunch of the Clean Energy Industrial Forum (CEIF) at the EU Industry Days 2021, its first high-level meeting will gather 19 CEOs/leaders from companies and institutions across different sectors of Europe's clean energy industry, together with Commissioner Kadri Simson and senior officials of the Commission’s Directorate-General for Energy.

The forum objective is to develop recommendations on how to strengthen the industrial basis and the EU value chain for clean energy technologies, and identify new actions and initiatives for key sectors and segments of the value chain where EU industries should be competitive at global scale to gain new market shares.

This first high-level meeting will focus on the mission of the relaunched CEIF and the need to boost the growth and innovation rate of the EU clean energy industry to keep the pace of the increased European climate ambitions. The meeting will also address topics such as the competitiveness of the EU clean energy industry, the need to develop the right skills for workers and contribute to a just transition and circularity of the industry in connection with the supply of critical raw materials.
