Europe’s chemical industry is under severe pressure. In response, the European Commission adopted the European Chemicals Industry Action Plan in July 2025. A central follow-up initiative is the Critical Chemicals Alliance, which brings together institutions and stakeholders to identify critical molecules and production sites, address vulnerabilities, and support strategic investment.

These objectives will only be achieved if they are translated into action where the industry actually operates: in Europe’s regions. This debate will therefore examine how regional authorities can help turn the EU policy framework into industrial reality — preserving production, supporting the transformation of strategic sites, enabling decarbonisation, and reinforcing Europe’s long-term competitiveness.
