In March 2020 the Commission presented a new strategy to help Europe's industry lead the twin transitions towards climate neutrality and digital leadership. The strategy aims to drive Europe's competitiveness and its strategic autonomy at a time of moving geopolitical plates and increasing global competition.

The strategy includes an SME strategy that aims to reduce red tape and help Europe's SMEs to do business across the single market and beyond, access financing, and help lead the way on the digital and green transitions.

The European industrial strategy of May 2021 had the following key elements still valid today:

Digital Transformation

Ecosystems

Energy-intensive industries

Supporting clean hydrogen

Skills for industry

Advanced technologies

Interregional partnerships

Innovation

Industrial policy dialogue and expert advice

Intellectual property
