SPIRE Stakeholder Workshop: Sustainable Process Industry Strategy Towards 2050

The aim of the Stakeholder Workshop: Sustainable Process Industry Strategy Towards 2050 was to launch the SPIRE 2050 Vision document and provide SPIRE stakeholder with the opportunity to review and validate the vision document.

The extent and the pace of the transitions that our society requires over the next decades are pushing the limits of human knowledge and our ability to deploy innovations. This is why SPIRE together with experts in the field has developed the SPIRE 2050 Vision document, an ambitious document with the objective of driving the Process Industry forward towards a sustainable future and within the framework of Horizon Europe.

In all these significant challenges, the European Process Industries and their research partners clearly see innovation and business opportunities. SPIRE strongly affirms that it is time to boost the transitions formulating its position through a new 2050 Vision to guide its work into the EU’s Horizon Europe programme and beyond.

The purpose of the workshop had for objective to also establish collaborative agreements with Member States and other contractual public-private partnerships, as well as give a momentum to the development of the SPIRE 2050 Roadmap.

The European Commission endorsed this Vision document stating that it was a document genuinely driven by the desire to save our planet. More on the perspective from the European Commission, industry, SMEs and Regions/Member States can be found in the interview conducted during the workshop.
