All interested stakeholders are invited to take part in the “Crafting the Transatlantic Green Marketplace” stakeholder event on 30-31 January 2024, in Washington, D.C.

The EU-U.S. Trade and Technology Council (TTC) will  organise a comprehensive stakeholder event to solicit input on the Transatlantic Initiative on Sustainable Trade (TIST) Work Programme which was launched at the TTC ministerial meeting of 31 May 2023. 

The event will give the transatlantic stakeholder community the opportunity to provide input on how TIST can promote a more integrated and resilient transatlantic marketplace that will help accelerate the transition to a climate-neutral and more circular economy to the benefit of businesses, workers, and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic. 

The event will start with remarks by EU and U.S. TTC principals followed by a high-level plenary session, and various breakout sessions for discussions among stakeholders on specific issues related to the TIST Work Programme, such as increasing circularity, promoting the roll-out of more environmentally friendly technologies and ensuring that the transition to the cleantech economy is just. 

The thematic sessions are interactive roundtable discussions steered by partnering U.S. and EU organisations. Hybrid options are being considered.
