AmCham EU signed the Antwerp Declaration for a European Industrial Deal to join the call for a more competitive and resilient EU. The declaration calls for strengthening the Single Market, a focus on elevating competitiveness as a strategic priority in European industrial policy and to create incentives for business to invest in low carbon technologies. Learn more about the declaration and how it can incentivise investment in Europe.
A European industrial policy must have material impacts that strengthen the Single Market, remove barriers faced by business and enhance European competitiveness as a bloc.

The new political cycle offers a unique opportunity to put the issue of Europe’s attractiveness – represented by frameworks like the Single Market – at the centre of the EU’s strategic agenda.
