  1. Report on the Workshop "Cross-Sectorial and Cross-border Cooperation of Clusters in Support of Green Chemical Industries" on 2 February 2014/Brussels Timoteo de la Fuente DG Enterprise and Industry RRM Group Meeting Wednesday, 2 April 2014

  2. Towards green chemicals, the role of Clusters.

  3. EU chemicals industry is under strong competitive pressure

  4. Reindustrialisation, green chemicals and new value chains The EU needs to be reindustrialised. The 20% target for 2020 is quite ambitious, It is not only to replace a product by other, or a company by other,….but to create new industries, New value chains in the field of green chemicals can contribute to decarbonisation and to reindustrialize EU regions. The EU chemicals industry will be stronger if integration is reinforced along the value chain,

  5. Reindustrialisation, green chemicals and new value chains

  6. Reindustrialisation, green chemicals and new value chains

  7. EU Policies should be properly executed (a systemic approach)

  8. Clusters for green chemicals and EU reindustrialisation

  9. Conclusions • Green chemicals industries are created and will better grow around cross sectorial clusters, • Access to biomass and logistics can have different models (Champagne or Delta regions are two cases), • Access to finance can be favored through participation in clusters, • Clusters bring together companies (feedstocks-upstream and clients-downstream),

  10. Conclusions • Cluster will boost cross border cooperation for SMEs working with green chemicals and contribute to their internationalisation, • Clusters need the presence of big companies to help in open innovation issues, • EU Funds are available to develop industrial capacities in the field of green chemicals but a systemic approach for supporting bio economy is needed.
