Joined by Hendrik Van de Velde, Ambassador, General Coordinator for the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union, we heard about more about the Belgian Presidency’s plans around competitivity and industrial policy, with a particular focus on the green deal transition. 

During the panel discussion, attendees heard predictions about what the top headlines will be in 2024. They covered a range of issues, from climate change to the upcoming elections and beyond.
