Summary
European cleantech business leaders are urging policymakers to help scale and consolidate the green energy sector, drawing parallels to the creation of Airbus as a state-backed European champion. They argue that the EU needs a similar approach for strategic green sectors to improve energy security and provide a cost-competitive alternative to subsidized Chinese imports. The push comes as Brussels revamps merger rules, with leaders like ContourGlobal CEO Antonio Cammisecra calling for an "Airbus of renewables" to ease fragmentation and boost public funding.
