Since taking office last September, Anthony has been calling on EU leaders to act boldly on industrial policy and competitiveness. But in a global landscape marked by trade wars and rising geopolitical tensions, is Europe ready to respond?
In this episode, we unpack:
- What’s the future of European industry in the current geopolitical climate?
- Do fragmented EU policies — from trade to digital — make a coherent industrial strategy impossible?
- Should business leaders play a more direct role in policymaking, grounded in economics and evidence, not just politics?
This isn’t just about economics. It’s about Europe’s industrial future — and its role in the global order.
The Reset is a video podcast series exploring what it really takes to make European industry competitive again. Hosted by Francesca Stevens, Secretary General of EUROPEN and Brussels' most prominent champion of the European Single Market, each episode brings together leaders from across Europe's industrial and policy landscape for frank conversations on the forces reshaping the continent's competitiveness, for better and worse.
Across two seasons, The Reset has tackled Europe's aluminium crisis, the automotive sector's EV transition, progress since the Antwerp Declaration, the role of CEOs in policymaking, the implementation gap on the Draghi agenda, and whether Europe's institutions are still fit for purpose. Guests have included heads of industrial sectors such as aluminium, automotive, and chemicals, as well as leading experts on tech and trade policy.
Episodes are recorded at the Bump Policy Experience Space in Brussels, occasionally in front of a live audience. The Reset is produced by Bump and hosted on The Parliament.
