Join the Conversation on Sustainability and Competitiveness

European industrial companies are navigating a complex landscape of economic, technological, regulatory, and social challenges as they strive for sustainability without sacrificing competitiveness.

In response, the European Commission has launched the Clean Industrial Deal, a pivotal initiative aimed at enhancing industry competitiveness while meeting ambitious climate goals. This deal focuses on fostering innovation, scaling clean technologies, simplifying regulatory processes, ensuring access to affordable energy, and promoting decarbonization. In the context of this ambitious EU initiative, EFESO Management Consultants organizes its 3rd Forum ‘Co-creating a sustainable industrial future’. This year’s topic, "Driving Competitiveness while Ensuring Sustainability," aligns with the core objectives of the Clean Industrial Deal.

On June 6, at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges facilities (Belgium), join this exclusive gathering of industry leaders to share experiences, insights, and operational strategies that have driven performance improvements across Europe’s industrial landscape. It is a unique opportunity to explore innovative approaches and network with peers shaping the future of our industry. Register Now!
