Industrial development and the strengthening of the internal market are crucial to ensure Italy and the European Union’s ability to produce wealth and welfare for its citizens, all the more so in a global context characterised by uncertainties, conflicts, and trade tensions. The Clean Industrial Deal and the Single Market Strategy set the course. How will they take shape? What will Italy’s contribution to this process be? What expectations do the actors of the industrial and commercial system have?

At Connact Industry & Market 2025, authoritative representatives of institutions tasked with providing regulatory concreteness to the strategic documents will discuss with the most representative companies and trade organisations the issues to be resolved and the solutions to be adopted.

The event is organised in cooperation with the European Parliament and enjoys the highest institutional patronage.

Among the promoters of the initiative are Confartigianato Imprese, Consiglio Nazionale del Notariato and FederlegnoArredo.

Time	Industry & Market 2025
3:30 pm	Clean industrial deal: the balance between sustainability and industrial competitiveness Combining climate action with boosting industrial competitiveness is the ambitious challenge of the Clean Industry Pact. The necessity for adapting to shifting geopolitical and economic realities is acknowledged, while upholding the environmental sustainability goals established by the previous legislature. Access to infrastructure and energy; boosting the circular economy; upgrading workers' skills; promoting the demand as well as the supply of low environmental impact products; public procurement criteria; state aid; financial support through EU resources, EIB programmes, private investments and the creation of an industrial decarbonisation bank; improving the CBAM mechanism and promoting international partnerships: these are the main areas of action outlined by the Clean Industrial Deal, with a roadmap that envisages the adoption of most of the measures—some of which are already underway—within the next year and completion by 2027. How will the EU's action be implemented? How do the actors of the industrial system react to the planned measures? Speakers Raffaele Stancanelli MEP, member AGRI, ITRE, JURI Mariateresa Vivaldini * MEP, member ITRE, EMPL, ECON, IMCO Giorgio Gori * MEP, Deputy Chair of ITRE and member of AFET Committees Ilaria Cavo * MP, Deputy Chair of Industry Committee Gabriele Scabbia Ministry for Enterprises and Made in Italy, Department for Industrial Policies Aleksandra Kordecka * EU Commission, Expert of the Cabinet of EVP Stéphane Séjourné Marco Granelli Confartigianato Imprese, President Paolo Fantoni Vice President of FederlegnoArredo and President of Assopannelli Moderate Vittorio Oreggia Director of Gea - Green Economy Agency
