Joint letter – Industry Leaders Urge EU to Prioritise Advanced Manufacturing in the Clean Industrial Deal

EFFRA, alongside with key industry representatives, is calling the European Commission to make advanced manufacturing a central pillar of the upcoming Clean Industrial Deal. In a joint letter addressed to Mr. Stéphane Séjourné, Executive Vice-President for Prosperity and Industrial Strategy, we are emphasising the critical role of advanced manufacturing in driving EU competitiveness, sustainability, and economic security.

Key Points from the Joint Letter:

• Innovation and Sustainability: Advanced manufacturing accelerates innovation, boosts productivity, and supports circular economy practices.
• Global Competitiveness at Stake: The EU risks losing its competitive edge without a dedicated strategy, especially as other regions advance rapidly.
• Call for Action: Industry leaders urge the European Commission to develop a robust strategy that positions the EU as a global leader in advanced manufacturing.

This is a crucial moment for the EU to champion advanced manufacturing within the Clean Industrial Deal. Immediate action is needed to ensure Europe remains a global hub for industrial innovation.
