Europe's automotive industry, a key component of the economy of the European Union and its member states, faces critical challenges from the rise of EVs and increased competition within the Chinese market and around the world. Europe must balance these trends with economic security concerns and increased instability from the threats of tariffs from Washington. Join the CSIS Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics for a timely virtual event to explore these dynamics with the policymakers and researchers shaping their impacts. This event accompanies a new publication exploring the automotive sector's future in EU-China relations by Trustee Chair Deputy Director Ilaria Mazzocco.
The event will begin with a keynote speech and interview with distinguished guest Maria Martin-Prat De Abreu, Deputy Director-General of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Trade and Economic Securit. Dr. Mazzocco will then lead a panel discussion with Max Bergmann (CSIS), Francesca Ghiretti (RAND Europe), and Julia Poliscanova (T&E). The panel will respond to the keynote speech and provide their own views on competition between Brussels and Beijing in the EV industry.
This event is made possible by generous funding from the European Climate Foundation.
