The conversation then turns to the EU's ambitious and long-touted #CleanIndustrialDeal (CID), and the panel debates the intentions behind the CID, its efficacy and potential impact on European businesses in and beyond the mobility and energy sectors.

In the inaugural episode of Policy Driven, co-hosts Mark and Tom sit down with Sabrine Skiker, Director at Hanover Brussels.

They dive into the pressing issues of trade and mobility, exploring President Trump's proposed 25% #tariffs on #EU imports and the EU's Clean Industrial Deal.

We wish to thank our speakers, panellists, and all those who attended for the insightful and open debate.

We look forward to hosting you soon!
