Europe’s Green Tech Revolution
Powering the world’s first electro-continent
The Green Deal is guiding Europe towards climate neutrality, with climate action now powering our economy. Clean Tech and renewables are the new drivers of economic prosperity in Europe, contributing 30% of EU growth in 2023 and creating millions of green collar jobs. Europe has a unique opportunity to provide more economic prosperity, security and employment, while safeguarding the environment it depends on.
Europe has to become a world-leader, not only in deployment, but in clean tech manufacturing. China is racing ahead to become the world's first ‘electro-state’, exporting its ever-growing production at the expense of European producers. The EU is increasingly, and for some technologies, fully dependent on imports. Russian aggression and American extortion show the need to end our reliance on fossil fuel imports. For Europe to ensure its energy independence, it has to become the first ‘electro-continent’.
To match our aims and needs, Europe will need to create a union of wind and sun, of cables and batteries; a European Renewables and Clean Tech Community.
