Presidency event (conference) in France: Industrial Technologies 2022

Events of a major strategic nature, which are focused and attract a broad spectrum of stakeholders are important in assessing past activities, identifying policy options and priorities, and planning future actions.

The European Commission will support the organisation of an event (conference) in France in the first half of 2022, in cooperation with the French government, holding the EU Presidency of the European Union at the time.

The conference should cover in particular the twin green and digital transformation of European industry, with a focus on resilience post-Covid. It should focus on how breakthrough technologies and scale up of industrial innovations could influence such twin transition.

It should enhance synergies between research and innovation initiatives launched by the Commission and by the Member States. The proposed content should be balanced, encompassing policy, technological, economic and social elements and points of view.
