“In many examples, we see that public budgets are waiting for private finance to start. Whereas it should be the opposite. We really should see public finance taking the first step, taking on the risk. We're talking a few billion to create pan-European green champions, state-owned enterprises, in the form of manufacturing and green engineering, procurement and construction.”
