CKN Report Presentation & Panel Discussion - Standardisation with Chinese Characteristics? The Missing Pillar in Rebooting Europe’s Industrial Policy
This timely report explores the crucial yet often overlooked role of technical standardisation in European industrial policy. It advocates for more strategic orchestration of standard-setting by governments in close cooperation with industry, offering a Blueprint for Action across five domains:
- Programming
- Promoting
- Protecting
- Partnering
- Process
We are honoured to have welcomed lead author Alexandre Gomes to present the key findings. The presentation was followed by a panel discussion with key stakeholders from government and industry, and a Q&A session with all participants. The discussion was moderated by co-author Maaike Okano-Heijmans.
Panelists:
