Flagship Two: The choice – committing to competitive pathways

The green transition has hit a new peak, powered by record investment in clean energy and a shift from imported molecules to homegrown electrons. A global EV boom is happening, and industrial planning is increasingly wedded to low-carbon innovation as a pillar of competitiveness and growth. You could be led to believe the direction of travel is set, but the reality is more complex. The path is not pre-defined, and it isn’t solely driven by economics. In reality political will, public pressure, and the security of people, place and planet, are all shaping the speed and direction of change. Today’s choices determine which systems scale, and which are left behind. We must decide where to focus and how to channel our power. These decisions will determine the pace of change, and who captures its value.
