A yellow kitchen in Dnipro 🇺🇦 – one day, the room is filled with happiness. The day after the family was shattered by Russian imperialism.

"We have been able to replace most of the Russian fossil fuels we used to import.

And we managed to double the amount of additional renewable energy.

But we are not out of the woods yet. Now we have to prepare for next winter."

We will develop a new 'Talent Booster Mechanism' based on 8 pillars.

The Mechanism will support regions severely affected by a decline of the working age population, a low share of university and higher-education graduates, or a negative mobility of their population aged 15-39.

82 regions in 16 EU countries are severely affected.

Tackling the shrinking of the working age population requires higher productivity and more innovation, and thus skilled workers.

If left unaddressed, this situation will threaten the long-term prosperity of the EU.

→ Trade

As the transition to net-zero globally speeds up, our economies will rely ever more on international trade.

We need an ambitious trade agenda to help our industry cut costs, create jobs and develop new products.

→ Skills

The Green Deal Industrial plan will be developing the skills needed to make the transition happen.

The best technology is only as good as the skilled workers who can install and operate it.

→ Financing

There is a need to be competitive with the offers and incentives that are currently available outside the EU.

We will propose to temporarily adapt our state aid rules to speed-up and simplify.

→ Regulation

The new Net-Zero Industry Act will identify clear goals for European clean tech by 2030.

We will simplify processes for new production sites and Important Projects of Common European Interest.

For the medium term, we will prepare a European Sovereignty Fund.

The Green Deal Industrial Plan is our plan to make Europe the home of clean tech and industrial innovation on the road to net-zero.
