The European industrial landscape remains challenging. Weak demand, high costs and intense global competition continue to pressure margins and investment decisions. In times like these, the instinct can be to protect what already exists.
But Europe’s strength has never been in preserving yesterday’s structures. It has been in building what comes next.
The common thread in the news above is partnerships across industrial value chains. Strong brands, raw material producers, logistics players and industry associations are recognizing that transformation requires collaboration across value chains. No single actor can carry the transition alone, but together we can build resilient, competitive and fossil-free industrial systems.
This is not about choosing between climate ambition and competitiveness. It is about understanding that they are fundamentally linked.
We should not invest in preserving yesterday’s fossil industry. We should invest in building tomorrow’s. And that future will be built through partnership.
