Europe can increase budgets by 50, 100 or 200%.
But can it increase production capacity by even 10%?
Right now:
- lead times are exploding;
- SMEs are overloaded;
- qualification queues are full;
- OEMs can’t find and select new suppliers fast enough;
- securing qualified human resources is challenging than ever;
- many raw materials and components still come from China or non-EU sources.
Capacity. Capability. Compliance.
This is the real bottleneck.
Europe’s new industrial renaissance will succeed or fail on this point alone.
