This expert roundtable will explore how Research & Innovation (R&I) can significantly contribute to ensure European energy security and strengthen the competitiveness of the clean tech industry in the EU, in alignment with existing policies and measures.

The event draws from the recently published Independent Expert Study on Clean Energy R&I Opportunities, which aims to prioritise R&I actions that strengthen the EU's long-term energy security by addressing challenges within specific clean energy value chains.

The event will feature high-level speakers and experts. Rosalinde van der Vlies, Director of DG RTD Clean Planet, will open the event, introducing the objectives of the study. The panel will consist of distinguished experts from the European Commission and beyond. This gathering of experts ensures a thorough discussion on the role of R&I to ensure European energy security and the competitiveness of the clean tech industry in the EU, bridging strategic European perspectives with the detailed analysis presented in the study.

UNCHAIN - Revolutionising urban logistics & space management

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
