3) Strategic autonomy does not mean full self-sufficiency. The EU should target key dependencies (e.g., PV panels and microchips from China) while maintaining diversified and resilient supply chains

2) Coordinated EU-level policies are essential to avoid industrial concentration in a few countries and ensure a fair distribution of benefits addressing the risks of deepening existing inequalities.

This paper provides recommendations to ensure a balanced and effective industrial strategy.

1) Industrial policy must focus on ecosystems, not just products, fostering complementarities across sectors to build coherent technological and capability frameworks.

Dimitri Zurstrassen @dzurstrassen.bsky.social · Feb 21

Historiquement, l’Union européenne (UE) a favorisé les politiques industrielles horizontales pour éviter les distorsions de concurrence en encadrant strictement les aides d’État.

Cette dynamique était au cœur du dialogue que nous avions eu avec @dzurstrassen.bsky.social l'année dernière.
