Cleantech Becomes a Strong Political Priority

10/25/20251 min read

Something big is shifting in Brussels.

On October 23, 2025, President Ursula von der Leyen sent a clear signal to Europe’s innovators: cleantech is not just about net zero. It’s about competitiveness, security, and independence.

Global cleantech markets are exploding, and Europe finally sees the opportunity to lead.
Yet the message comes with a warning: China exports nearly twice as much cleantech as Europe. If we don’t build locally, we’ll trade one dependency for another.

That’s why the Commission is moving fast.
A “Made in Europe” criterion will now enter public procurement, turning 14% of EU GDP into strategic demand for local clean technology.
This is a signal flare for every startup, investor, and policymaker in the clean industrial space.

For Tenderscan, this changes everything.
Public procurement is a market worth over €2 trillion. As governments start prioritizing made-in-Europe cleantech, the number and complexity of tenders will surge.
That means more data, more partnerships to form, and more chances for European innovators to compete — and win — locally.

Our mission at Tenderscan is to make those opportunities visible, matchable, and actionable.
When policy moves this fast, intelligence must move faster. That’s where our Agentic AI steps in. It helps companies find, rank, and team up on the right clean opportunities before anyone else.

Europe has the talent. The science. The capital.
Now, with the right intelligence, it also has the map.

At Green Power Plus, we see this as a turning point.
AI can amplify what Europe already does best — engineering precision, design quality, and sustainable innovation — to turn cleantech from a climate goal into a competitive advantage.
