Economic security is fast becoming a defining issue for Europe’s industry.

RESiLICON’s CEO, Remco Rijn, has joined other European business leaders in endorsing a published call for a “Made in Europe” strategy, led by EU Industry Chief Stéphane Séjourné.

The initiative highlights the need to support and de-risk Europe’s key value chains in order to strengthen economic security.

That matters, because economic security does not happen by default.

If Europe wants to remain competitive and secure in a more fragmented world, it must be prepared to back its own industrial base, particularly where it is overly reliant on production outside Europe.

A stronger European preference, often referred to as “Made in Europe”, should not be confused with protectionism. It is a practical response to global realities.

By creating clearer demand signals, Europe can give companies the confidence to invest and build capacity within the region. For RESiLICON, this ambition includes securing Europe’s supply of ultra-pure polysilicon.

In the long run, Europe’s economic security will depend on whether it consistently supports and de-risks its key value chains.
