Advancing Europe’s Clean Industrial Transformation

The 2025 Cleantech Conference, taking place on 8 April 2025, aims to explore how the EU navigates towards a competitive, resilient, and decarbonised economy. Focusing on facilitating networking between key players in the future of clean tech innovation, the Conference will gather high-level representatives of EU Institutions, industry stakeholders, investors, and representatives from projects already supported by the Innovation Fund. 

The 2025 edition will be an opportunity to exchange and learn about pivotal topics, including the Clean Industrial Deal, the role of the Innovation Fund in decarbonising emission-intensive industry, harnessing disruptive technologies, competing in the global clean tech race, and financing the clean transition.

Guided through the day by Ewa Krukowska, a senior climate and energy reporter for Bloomberg News in Brussels, who will be the Master of Ceremony, conference attendees will benefit from expertise and insight from high-level representatives from the European Commission on the Clean Industry Deal. They will share the floor with industry-focused networks (CEFIC, Cleantech for Europe), corporations (Schneider Electric), advocacy groups (Environmental Defense Fund) and philanthropies (European Climate Foundation) to discuss how it can propel Europe towards climate neutrality and boost competitiveness.

Wopke Hoekstra, Commissioner for Climate, Net Zero and Clean Growth, will share his views on the role of public and private investment in accelerating Europe’s clean transition and ensuring long-term competitiveness.

Registrations for on-site participation are open until 24 March 2025. The Conference will be live-streamed.
