One message came through loud and clear: Europe doesn't lack technology or talent. It needs the ambition, financing and speed to deploy proven clean energy solutions at scale. Three priorities stood out: ⚡ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫. The U.S. has demonstrated how ambitious public innovation programs can accelerate deployment. Europe should match that level of urgency and ambition. 💶 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. Public and private financing mechanisms need to become larger, faster and simpler. Critical technologies cannot wait for bureaucracy. 🤝 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞'𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐬. Europe already has world-class engineering, industrial capabilities and collaborative ecosystems. Now we need the capital and political commitment to turn them into projects. At THORIZON, we are advancing 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭-𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐧𝐮𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 to complement renewables in a diversified and resilient energy mix. But achieving this transition requires cross-sector collaboration and bold policy action. Thank you to Siemens Energy for facilitating this essential dialogue and for the panelists to have given a consistent view about means and action levers: Vinod Philip, Robin Dechant, PhucVinh NGUYEN moderated by Frederikke Thim Tømmergaard. #MSR #SMR #deeptech #scaleup #innovation #nuclear #France2030 #hightechindustry #hightech #DutchTech #FrenchTech #netzero #smralliance #FRNL26 #NucleaireEnergieVoorDeToekomst #ZILT #Euratom
