Thanks for the meaning and thanks to Nikki for some useful reformulations. I was thrown off here by expressions like "d'aujourd'hui en huit."

Si on se place en 2030 ...

Explanation:
Avec plus de contexte, ce serait plus facile de donner une meilleure réponse ... Ça ne veut PAS dire 'between now and 2030'. On se place en 2030.

Explanation:
No, it doesn't mean between now and 2030 - it's referring to the year 2030 as the year in which the industries will have their 'horizon'.

just realised that 'horizon' sounds very vague the way I've written it - I mean the year they are working towards.

agree

Tony M: Exactly! If you read it as 'aujourd'hui, l'horizon est en 2030' the meaning is immediately obvious

2 hrs

-> thanks Tony! The thing is there should be commas, a pause in the speech... I have very much the feeling it's a transcription of a speech...

neutral

polyglot45: not "as of today". Currently is OK. It really means "at this moment in time", "today", "at present", "these days", the TIME horizon (well-known concept!) they are working to is 2030 - i.e. planning in relation to that date

3 hrs

-> Thank you ! I "hear what you are saying" however IRL I have heard British people saying "AOT" in the sense of "right now" "as we speak""

Explanation:
Jeanne,

To answer your question "Does this mean between now and 2030?", my short answer would be no, it does not. I think Patrick has the right meaning.

My post is more for a suggested reformulation. Once you have grasped the meaning, then you can reformulate the phrase in ways which avoid the necessity to translate every word of the original.

"L'horizon pris en compte pour des industries est aujourd'hui en 2030."

2030 is the horizon for industries today.
The horizon is currently 2030 for industries.
Industries currently set their sights on / (look ahead to) 2030.
The current time target for industry is 2030.

Etc. It might be worht considering using the progressive form of the present rather than the indicative.
