European Business Summit 2025

17, 18, 19 & 20 November

Egmont Palace, Brussels

CHOOSE EUROPE - FOR A RESILIENT A COMPETITIVE FUTURE

To mark its 25th anniversary, the 2025 European Business Summit will open the floor to a bold and necessary debate: what choices must Europe make today to remain resilient, innovative, and globally competitive tomorrow? In a world defined by rapid change and rising geopolitical tensions, “Choose Europe” is more than a slogan: it’s a call to action.

Can Europe truly deliver on its investment ambitions? Will strategic autonomy move beyond ambition? Can innovation be scaled without industrial strength, and regulation simplified without losing trust? This milestone edition will challenge assumptions and confront realities as we ask: can Europe rise to the moment, and choose a future that is truly its own?

Our mission statement

Our mission is twofold: we aim to bring politics and business together in order to provide them with an opportunity to debate and pursue their common goals, giving a voice to all sides of the debate. The other priority of EBS is to provide European institutions with a platform where they can place their top priorities in the spotlight and advance the development of new pieces of legislation through discussion with a variety of actors and stakeholders.
