🛡️Put trade measures on the table – if you want to build local manufacturing, you need to safeguard it from unfair competition
🤝Complement local content requirements with an EU-level FDI screening regime and mandatory joint ventures for select strategic cleantech value chains
🌐Create strong demand signals for cleantech made in Europe through local content requirements in public procurement and public funding – both at EU and Member State level
To turn the IAA into a successful catalyst for building Europe’s industry of tomorrow, we outlined the following key recommendations for policymakers in our latest paper🧵
This is a key opportunity to adopt a strong cleantech “Made in Europe” strategy and change the course towards clean industrial leadership.
💡At our Summit last month, Made in Europe was hotly debated and EU political and cleantech leaders called for stronger industrial policy.
Our New Year’s Resolution: Strengthening Cleantech Made in Europe🚀
As we kick off 2026, our eyes are set on the end of this month: On January 28th, the @ec.europa.eu will unveil its legislative proposal for an Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA).
Whether you were with us in Brussels, or missed it, tune in to the latest episode of Time to Scale to hear about:
💶Mobilising capital for cleantech scaleup
💡Creating demand for EU-made cleantech
🌏The role of trade measures
💪How to turn ambition into action
We bring you the hottest takes from our December Summit in a special podcast episode!
It is with these words that Commissioner for Climate, Net Zero and Clean Growth @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu addressed the European cleantech community at our Cleantech for Europe Summit last month in Brussels. Want to hear more?
🎧SPECIAL SUMMIT EPISODE – TIME TO SCALE PODCAST🎧
“The moment you’re honestly thinking about leaving, give me a call.” 📞
Thanks to all the coalition members, strategic partners and friends who championed the European Cleantech Industry in 2025.
Stay tuned for 2026. This is just the beginning 🚀
🌍Shoutout to our fantastic regional initiatives for holding up the cleantech torch across Europe.
💥Ending the year with a bang, our annual Summit brought together the highest levels of policy, cleantech and investment leaders to discuss a critical question for clean industry in Europe: To Lead or Not To Lead?
🎙️We launched our new podcast, Time to Scale, with extraordinary guests @laurencetubiana.bsky.social, architect of the Paris Agreement, Nils Aldag, Co-Founder and CEO of Sunfire, MEP Lídia Pereira, Vice-Chair of
@eppgroup.bsky.social, and European Commissioner for Energy and Housing Dan Jørgensen.
🤝Cleantech scale-ups @corpowerocean.bsky.social, GA Drilling, GravitHy, Ingrid, LeydenJar, Newheat, Submer and Vianode and cleantech investor PT1 joined our coalitions.
🏆President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu committed to massively invest in cleantech.
👥MEPs Lídia Pereira and Thomas Pellerin-Carlin re-launched the Cleantech Friendship Group, now counting 35 Members of the European Parliament, in the presence of President von der Leyen.
💪We started the year off strong, with 100 cleantech leaders from across Europe signing a letter calling for an ambitions Clean Industrial Deal.
It’s time for Cleantech for Europe 2025 Wrapped ✨ From standout moments and inspiring insights to the companies and politicians who shaped this year in cleantech, here’s a look back at our 2025.

This is just the beginning! The time for cleantech made in Europe is now.🚀
The Commission also confirmed that as part of the next EU’s multiannual budget from 2028, the upcoming European Competitiveness Fund will include production ramp-up support measures for scaling up the production of clean technologies made in Europe, such as batteries.
🌐To boost demand for EU-made batteries, the Commission announced that it will stimulate the creation of lead markets by introducing EU content requirements for EV and BESS batteries and their components in the upcoming Industrial Accelerator Act, due to be unveiled in January.
This marks a very promising development ahead of next year’s ETS review. An additional €300 million from the Innovation Fund will go to Critical Raw Materials projects central to a resilient European battery value chain.
💶To support European battery cell producers in scaling up their production, the Commission is mobilising €1.5 billion from the Innovation Fund which for the first time will be deployed through interest-free loans, with performance-based milestones.
🔋Batteries are key to the transformation of the European automotive sector, the optimisation of our electricity grids, and increasingly of defence and security applications. To reduce Europe’s dependence on third countries, strengthening local battery value chains is crucial.
BREAKING: COMMISSION INTRODUCES INTEREST-FREE LOANS AND MADE IN EUROPE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BATTERY SECTOR
Yesterday, the @ec.europa.eu unveiled its Battery Booster Strategy as part of the EU Automotive Package, setting the framework ahead for the European automotive industry.
