At the eceee energy efficiency conference in Antwerp, industry leaders, policy makers, and other attendees discussed the critical challenge of deeply decarbonizing industry to meet EU and global climate and energy goals. Recognizing the complexities of achieving this while maintaining competitiveness and business continuity, the conference addressed both current energy management strategies and corporate culture, and the transformative shifts required for long-term sustainability. Themes covered included innovative process and technology solutions, the varying perspectives among stakeholders, and barriers to progress, such as apprehensiveness towards change and the unknown aspects of transition. The conference recognized that decarbonizing the economy is uncharted territory requiring a concerted and collective effort. Following the event, the 'Antwerp Declaration for a European Industrial Deal' was signed by 73 industrial leaders, emphasizing commitment to the transformation of industry in Europe and urgent needs for maintaining competitiveness under challenging economic conditions. The impending European Parliament elections were noted as a crucial time for consumer-stakeholder engagement in shaping the path to climate and energy targets.
