The Europe opportunity: enhancing the digital transition through climate action
The European Union plays a crucial role in climate financing. It is currently positioned as a key leader in green investments, seeking to fill the €800bn annual investment gap needed to remain competitive with global rivals.
As part of Point Zero Forum, OMFIF is convening a roundtable examining how digital agendas can be integrated under transformative policies such as the European Green Deal and the Clean Industrial Deal. It also explores the importance of leveraging common European funds and fostering collaborative ecosystems to boost competitiveness in green technology and innovation, especially in the context of a twin transition.
