Europe’s competitiveness and climate ambition are intrinsically linked. Decarbonising industry at scale is increasingly recognised as a key to enhancing economic resilience and strategic autonomy, especially in light of evolving geopolitical dynamics, fluctuating energy markets, and growing global competition.

Innovation is the engine of decarbonisation and Europe has groundbreaking ideas; however, turning climate ambition into industrial leadership requires more than innovation alone. It demands fast commercial scale-up of clean technologies, sustained investment, resilient value chains and clear, predictable policy frameworks that allow European solutions to compete globally.

The 2026 Cleantech Conference brings together policymakers, industry leaders, investors and innovators to take stock of progress, exchange insights and challenge ideas to help drive Europe’s transformative decarbonisation agenda forward.

Organised by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) and the Directorate-General for Climate Action (DG CLIMA), the conference highlights the role of the Innovation Fund as a cornerstone of Europe’s approach to bringing transformative decarbonisation solutions to market while looking ahead to foster Europe’s competitiveness.

Maritime CleanTech will participate and exhibit our flagship EU projects Apollo and Orcelle.
