    This paper investigates the perspectives of stakeholder groups in the plastic and steel value chains on transitioning toward a circular economy (CE). Through semistructured interviews with 31 business stakeholders, we analyze business strategies, key factors, challenges and opportunities, as well as coordination and regulatory needs for a successful industry-wide CE transition. Our findings highlight the effectiveness of CE regulations in driving CE-oriented business strategies and fostering coordination within fragmented value chains. While stakeholders acknowledge the significance of product design and the crucial role of producers, differing opinions emerge on the role and adequacy of regulations. This nuanced understanding contributes to an evidencebased analysis of the distinct incentives that shape the transitional activities in these industries.

    This study identifies data gaps throughout the textile industry supply and value chains, from fibre to the end of product life stage and assesses current initiatives addressing them. It also exposes the following challenges: missing data, data accessibility, data management, reliability and relevance, mandatory or non-mandatory data collection, data sharing, and data cost issues. Drawing on a literature review, 17 stakeholder interviews and 2 expert workshops, the study gathers essential insights from the field, and evaluates current and forthcoming initiatives for addressing data gaps. It goes on to discuss policy options geared towards using data to help achieve a sustainable transition and circular economy in the textile sector. Views on how to use data to tackle the fast fashion phenomenon are presented at the end of the study.

    In the coming decades, energy security will depend less on uninterrupted access to fossil energy sources and will be increasingly determined by the access to clean energy technologies, materials and components. This study, delivered by RAND Europe, CE Delft and E3-Modelling for the European Commission, assessed the energy security challenges of value chains across 17 clean energy technologies now and looking to 2050, and identified 30 research and innovation actions to address them. The bespoke methodology brought together futures methods and macroeconomic modelling, value chains analysis and strategic decision-making tools to set out priorities for action. Key criticalities identified included such issues as the abundance, availability and security of supply of critical raw materials; supply chain complexity, location and resilience; the sustainability and environmental impacts of energy technologies; public opinion and acceptability; affordability; and digital vulnerabilities. Specific criticalities by technology value chain have been identified and prioritised and corresponding research and innovation (R&I) actions have been proposed tailored to those specific issues. The R&I action plan comprises 30 actions that can be implemented at European Union (EU) and national levels to address the criticalities identified, with the top 9 highest-priority R&I actions identified based on a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis.

    Open Strategic Autonomy (OSA) is a political concept that refers to the European Union's ability to act independently in strategically important areas while seeking multilateral cooperation when possible. Initially mentioned in European Council conclusions in December 2013, OSA gained prominence after the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is now shaping the design of future industrial policies. The success of the OSA paradigm is strictly interrelated with SMEs active participation in strategic sectors. This study aims to analyse to what extent and through which means SMEs are involved in such strategic industries, and to provide recommendations for policy actions aimed at maximising the benefits of SMEs participation in OSA while limiting risks. It builds on the outcomes of extensive desk research and stakeholders' engagement. Results show that SMEs presence in strategic sectors is pervasive, although their contribution in terms of value added is limited. They oversee different stages along the value chains analysed, and they play a crucial role in R&D activities and in developing critical innovations and solutions even in industries dominated by large firms. In recent years, all major economies have implemented policies aimed at achieving strategic autonomy goals. Yet, limited emphasis has been put on supporting SMEs. The study concludes with the presentation of an Action Plan centred on two key points. First, recommended measures strike a balance between enhancing EU economic interests and resilience, and improving EU SMEs participation in an open international trading system. Second, the proposed actions comply with the need for the EU to lead in high-value technologies and productions. The Action Plan builds on five policy pillars and a foundational pillar that addresses general framework conditions to enable SME growth.

    While the impact of open data has been studied before, typically on an ad hoc basis, structured methods and indicators to measure its impact and the possibilities of basing these indicators on existing datasets still need to be explored and are the subject of this study.This report is the second step in defining the methodology for a European-wide assessment of the impact of open data. The study series aims to create an interactive monitoring tool for open data impact assessment.This second study aims to provide theoretical input to develop a methodology that analyses the impact of public data resources, focusing on the different impacts to be considered and the indicators that could quantify them. This report uses the results and conclusions presented in the first study on 'rethinking the impact of open data' as a foundation. The results of this study could be incorporated into a third study, where a draft methodology to measure the impact of open data could be developed and piloted.

    All Western Balkan economies launched their first respective Smart Specialisation strategy development processes by 2018, wishing to enhance their innovation policy frameworks with the evidence-based and participatory approach for revealing priority areas for policy intervention. Within these efforts, the economies had a complex task to thoroughly analyse their promising domains through economic, innovation and scientific mapping exercises. This report gives an overview of the regional competitiveness based on providing evidence on specialisation as well as emerging areas, highlighting their potential in detail. Although common patterns of economic specialisation are relatively rare, Western Balkan economies express a certain potential for science & technology collaborations. Smart Specialisation processes can enhance regional collaborations and contribute to bridging gaps between Science and Industry.

    The implementation of state aid to support net-zero-related strategic industries reinforces the single market and can enhance the EU's open strategic autonomy. - In fact, the simultaneous support by several Member States to net-zero-related industries results in higher economic impacts both at the EU and Member States' levels compared to individual action by a Member State. - The simultaneous implementation of state aid increases intra-EU spillovers, reducing the risk of fragmentation and thus strengthening the single market. - A simultaneous implementation of state aid has a larger economic impact in non-EU countries than in the rest of the EU in the subsidised green industries, confirming the high "initial" strategic dependence of the EU in those industries. - Simultaneous implementation of state aid can enhance the EU's open strategic autonomy by expanding the production capacity of non-subsidised industries within the EU, which may be suppliers of the subsidised green technologies, and hence reinforcing the EU's value chain. - Further analysis will be needed to address firm heterogeneity, production factor mobility across countries, and the longer-term effects of the policy.

    Energy storage is pivotal for the successful achievement of Fit for 55 and REPowerEU targets and objectives. A broader deployment of energy storage solutions will contribute to lowering electricity prices during peak times, increase share of renewables in the mix, reducing price fluctuations, and empowering consumers to use the energy they produce. Storage projects "financeability" is affected by three main aspects: 1) Technology: their TRL, that is their stage of maturity, 2) Economic: the levelized cost of storage, and 3) the range of services they are able to provide (e.g., ancillary, capacity, arbitrage). Investments in energy storage are affected by barriers of different nature, some stemming from market failures, others from technical aspects. WG members found the lack of revenue mechanisms and access to capital the barriers affecting most of the energy storage sector. Financial instruments can address some of the barriers to investment that are slowing down the decarbonisation of the EU energy sector. Through a range of instruments available at EU and Member State level, policy makers and investors can overcome some of the obstacles making energy projects, particularly innovative ones, too risky for the private sector alone. The presence of non-financial barriers affecting storage investments requires additional measures beyond financial instruments to create a truly enabling environment for energy storage investments.
