ABOUT EBS 2023

The 2024-2029 EU Agenda: Strong Business for a Stronger Europe

With European elections on the horizon in an era of increased global competition, and faced with the challenges of the climate crisis, lagging competitiveness, and strategic vulnerabilities in supply chains, the 2023 edition of the European Business Summit will aim at presenting a united response across all economic sectors.

As Europe recovers from the global pandemic, a key lesson has been the value of public-private partnerships to foster resilience in the modern era. Therefore, the importance of dialogue between industry, policymakers and civil society has never been more apparent. Building stronger together is the key to ensuring that Europe will remain a global leader and a prosperous economy for years to come.

Through a hybrid event combining a physical and online participation, the Summit will include an in-person event with exclusive networking opportunities as well as the live-streaming of each panel discussion and interview.
