Europe’s New Compass: Shaping Strategy in Uncertainty

To mark its 25th anniversary, the 2025 European Business Summit will unfold during four days in a special edition dedicated to shaping Europe’s future in a rapidly evolving world.

As the continent faces growing geopolitical tensions, technological disruption, and climate challenges, the need to strengthen resilience and competitiveness has become urgent. This calls for targeted investment in innovation, modern infrastructure, and workforce development, alongside efforts to secure critical supply chains and diversify energy sources.

Maintaining Europe’s global edge will also require streamlined regulations, support for high-growth sectors, and a fresh approach to international partnerships. A unified industrial strategy, backed by strategic investment in key technologies, can help the EU regain autonomy and influence on the world stage.

This year’s Summit will bring together new ideas and actionable solutions to ensure Europe not only adapts to uncertainty but also leads through it.

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.
