Following pressure gauge 10 bar of 5 May 2021 updating the New Industrial Strategy proposed in 2020, the European Commission has further indicated that it’ll rely fairly closely on trade to ship on the major challenges faced by our economies and societies in Europe. This is particularly the case in relation to sustainability, digital transformation, and international competitiveness, as properly as the necessity to overcome the crisis provoked by the Covid-19 pandemic. The EU Recovery and Resilience Plan launched in Spring 2021 is largely constructing on the capability of European business to design and produce the constructing blocks of the dual green and digital transition. At the same time, the EU is shaping a dense regulatory framework that does not at all times support the liberty and suppleness wanted for companies to grow and compete globally.
The European expertise industries, and specifically our pumps, compressors, taps and valves sectors, have for a really lengthy time thought of the enhancement of their international competitiveness inside the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of vitality efficiency and ecolabel laws. In parallel, digitalisation has supplied elevated alternatives and introduced new challenges, together with debates on the suitable regulatory level (sharing of commercial data, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).

In our explicit enviornment, that relates, in fact, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump associated gear – an enormous and important subset of business, given the width and breadth of pump applications.
Against this backdrop, one of the major issues when determining the core themes for the joint conference was to maintain up a direct reference to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Within this focus, the three associations intend to focus on how, together with the significance for corporations to deal with technical elements impacting their daily enterprise operations, they consider the optimistic role of business in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all the classes could have a technical theme matching probably the most applicable UN SDG, and with representation from the European Commission together with technical consultants from industry and/or research institutes, they may every be reflective of the present legislative terrain, as it relates to pumps and pumping techniques within the following key areas:
