Unlocking the potential of transatlantic cooperation: How the EU-US TTC can drive a sustainable future

17th May 2023, 11:45-13:15 CET, online

The EU-US Trade and Technology Council (TTC) is essential for achieving Transatlantic shared objectives including promoting the green transition, ensuring sustainable and resilient supply chains for critical raw materials, and creating an AI sandboxing environment.

This high-level webinar will bring together transatlantic stakeholders ahead of the next Ministerial. It will seek to tackle the following questions:

What is the role of the digital industry in supporting the TTC’s work on clean tech standards? 
How can digital help with securing a resilient and sustainable supply chain of critical raw materials and can the TTC be a space to promote initiatives such as the Critical Raw Materials Club?
What can the TTC’s future deliverables be on AI, following the joint roadmap?
