Today’s uncertain geopolitical context and the economic power of the United States, China, and others mean Europe must find new ways to collaborate and compete in the global economy. By doing so, European countries can create jobs, ensure growth, and, equally importantly, decarbonise.


In late February 2025, the European Commission produced its Clean Industrial Deal. As the name suggests, it is a blueprint to achieve these goals by increasing efforts to decarbonise as well as boost productivity—particularly in the high-carbon-emitting, energy-intensive heavy industrial sector.


On this first episode of the series, the Watt Matters team is joined by Phuc-Vinh Nguyen, head of the Jacques Delors Energy Centre, an independent think tank providing decision-makers with insights on energy transition issues. This conversation examines what exactly competitiveness means and why it matters to Europe and to society’s decarbonisation efforts.
