Next European Commission set to boost investments in clean technologies

Competitiveness and implementation of the Green Deal will be top priorities for the next Commission.

Newly elected Commission President von der Leyen announced her commitment to unlock funding to de-risk private investments in clean technologies, including renewables, through a new European Competitiveness Fund.

She also announced an upcoming European Ocean Pact to boost the European blue economy and ensure good governance of the ocean.

Innovation’s fundamental role in driving European competitiveness was also recognised with the pledge to put innovation ‘at the heart of the European economy’.

These announcements send positive signals for new investments in clean technologies and renewables, and are therefore good news for the ocean energy industry.
