#Europe as an industrial location is unique and worth preserving. For adago and Santiago Advisors as European companies, a healthy domestic economy is essential for our existence. For all of us as human beings, it is an important building block for a sustainable future. That is why we have signed the Antwerp Declaration to send a signal for Europe, for the #IndustrialDeal and for a #green #transformation. Positive impulses, such as consistent and accelerated de-bureaucratization, are important to break the negative spiral that is currently building up: poor sentiment, declining consumption, diminishing investment. Individual, national efforts will only be successful if we as a region succeed in making Europe an attractive place to do business. If we keep our borders open while focusing on the common interests of our countries, I am convinced that we will all benefit. Let’s keep working on our future together.
We have signed the Antwerp Declaration for a European Industrial Deal. Because we at Santiago and adago believe that we need industrial production in Europe. And that, given the current state of many industries, a new business case for investment is needed. > We want to support site development, instead of closure. > And we want to make progress on the green transition, rather than just shutting down energy-intensive production. A European Industrial Deal, complementing the Green Deal, is needed for a sustainable future in every sense of the word. Therefore, the declaration calls to EU Member State Governments, the next European Commission and Parliament to: 1) Put the Industrial Deal at the core of the new European Strategic Agenda for 2024-2029. 2) Include a strong public funding chapter with a Clean Tech Deployment Fund. 3) Make Europe a globally competitive provider of energy. 4) Focus on the infrastructure Europe needs. 5) Increase the EU’s raw materials security. 6) Boost demand for net zero, low carbon and circular products. 7) Leverage, enforce, revive and improve the Single Market. 8) Make the innovation framework smarter. 9) A new spirit of law-making. 10) Ensure the structure allows to achieve results. “𝘞𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺.

Let's not forget: We have a lot of strengths, experience and innovative power to build on here in Europe. As Santiago Advisors and adago, we see the most value in an open dialog between industry and our governments. Especially in challenging times like these, we should put aside vested interests and work together for our common future. #Europe #Germany #AntwerpDeclaration #IndustrialDeal #GreenDeal #Cefic #Future
