As Europe navigates a world defined by geopolitical instability, climate urgency, and economic challenges, one imperative is becoming increasingly clear: the European Union must secure and strengthen its strategic autonomy in critical sectors.
From energy to semiconductors, the EU is prioritising resilience and self-sufficiency. But one sector remains underappreciated despite its quintessential role in Europe’s food and industrial security – fertilizer industry.
Fertilizers, and the broader ammonia value chain, are not merely agricultural inputs. They are strategic assets. Ensuring their availability, affordability, and sustainability is central to Europe’s long-term objectives - food security, industrial competitiveness, and clean energy transition.
However, finding a balance between competitiveness and low-carbon transition remains a huge challenge.
Join Fertilizers Europe conference to discuss with high-level representatives from EU institutions, industry, academia and other stakeholders on how to align industrial policy with the transition to low-carbon economy.
