On 10 March, the Commission presented a new Strategy to assist European industry’s dual transition towards both climate neutrality and digital leadership.

The new Industrial Strategy is focusing on three key priorities:

• Maintaining European industry’s global competitiveness
• Making Europe climate-neutral by 2050
• Shaping Europe’s digital future

To that end, it proposes a set of future actions, along with the key drivers that will facilitate the transformation of the European industry:

• A deeper and more digital single market
• Upholding global level playing field
• Supporting industries towards climate neutrality
• Skilling and reskilling
• Embedding a spirit of industrial innovation
• Building a more circular economy
• Investing and financing the transition

Particular attention is paid to the key role that SMEs play in this Strategy, aiming to further help them lead the twin transition with a focus on their access to the right skills, through capacity building initiatives and tools to integrate digital innovation.
