Luxinnovation supports the European Union’s updated industrial strategy, which emphasises the rapid and green digital transition of the EU industry and its ecosystems.

As the principle of dual environmental and digital transition has become a key condition for business development, especially in the industrial sector, the European Commission has set up a support platform for all stakeholders involved in this transition.
This is a one-stop shop accessible to all industrial ecosystems, providing them with the necessary resources to collaboratively work on implementing various possible transition pathways.
This is an opportunity for industries to showcase their initiatives aimed at accelerating their green and digital transition and to inspire others. - Rémi Grizard (Luxinnovation)
“Each industrial ecosystem has to transform its own business models and value chains to align with this approach of a green, digital, and resilient European economy,” explains Rémi Grizard, Senior Advisor – SME Performance at Luxinnovation. Such transitions require concrete and actionable plans developed for each industrial ecosystem.
To this end, the European Commission has launched open calls for each of the envisaged transition pathways, where stakeholders can commit to their implementation.
This covers about twenty ecosystems including chemicals, metals, mobility, construction, agri-food, aerospace, renewable energies, creative and cultural industries, digital, and the defence industry.
“These open calls for commitments launched by the European Commission are tremendous opportunities for industries to showcase their initiatives aimed at accelerating their green and digital transition and to inspire others,” says Mr. Grizard. Luxinnovation supports interested companies in preparing their submissions.
The calls for commitments remains continuously open, with the Commission regularly reviewing proposed commitments based on defined criteria. Stakeholders are invited to submit their commitments before 1 September 2024, with a publication planned by the end of the year.
Further publication cycles will be announced throughout 2025.
