Προκλήσεις και προτεραιότητες για την Ελλάδα στο πλαίσιο της νέας βιομηχανικής στρατηγικής για την Ευρώπη

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the priorities that Greece must set, on the occasion of the adoption of the new European industrial strategy by the European Commission. To achieve this goal, an analysis of the global megatrends that created the need for a new European industrial strategy will be attempted first. Then, the main points of focus of the new industrial strategy for Europe will be presented. The Commission sets out three key priorities for transforming European industry. These are maintaining European industry's global competitiveness and a level playing field, both domestically and globally, achieving Europe's climate neutrality by 2050 and shaping Europe's digital future. In the next stages of this paper, the priorities set for Greece by the General Secretariat of Industry will be determined and the views and proposals of social partners (Hellenic Federation of Enterprises, Federation of Industries of Greece, Hellenic Confederation of Professionals, Craftsmen and Merchants) and other industrial entities (“Hellenic Production”) will be recorded, regarding the direction in which Greece must turn for the transformation of its industry and its transition to Industry 4.0. Finally, the issues concerning the industry in the design of the new NSRF will be listed, i.e., for the programming period 2021-2027. Also, some proposals will be presented regarding the policy options that Greece should follow during the new programming period.
