High-level roundtable: Industry and the future of globalisation Globalisation is currently at a turning point. The EU is committed to the rules-based global trade system ensuring a level playing field. However, the business community is becoming more and more concerned about the current geopolitical situation and its implications for industry. At the same time, changing trade patterns may offer new opportunities for strong European industrial value chains. If ambitious Europe could lead the way, based on our strengths and values. The discussion in this session would focus on new opportunities and challenges for EU industry, including new markets, relocation of trade flows, new generation of free trade agreements and strategic partnerships.

From decarbonisation to artificial intelligence – Challenges and opportunities for EU industry towards 2030 The global economic landscape is changing and the new industrial revolution is happening now. New global trends driven by digitalisation, automatisation, advanced manufacturing and the energy and resource efficiency production, are leading to servitisation as well as new, and often disruptive, business models. These trends boost innovation, value creation and industrial transformation and can offer major business opportunities. At the same time, the rapid and disruptive pace of change creates many uncertainties. This session would aim to present and provide a “reality check” of the work carried out by different high-level expert groups established by the Commission in recent months, and bringing their contributions together in the context of a single consistent framework of the European industry in 2030. Moderator: Ann Mettler, Head of the European Political Strategy Centre, European Commission Panellists will include Members of the Industry 2030 high-level roundtable, the Strategic Forum on Important Projects of Common European Interest, the High Level Group on Energy-Intensive Industries and the High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence
