The annual “Financing Europe” conference, now in its 22nd year, represents the premier gathering of policymakers, business leaders, and experts across finance, investment, and economics, working towards a sustainable and competitive European economy.
For 2025, the conference will continue its focus on revitalising Europe’s investment landscape to support societal needs. Key topics will include the policy reforms necessary to enhance Europe’s competitiveness, the significant investments required in new technologies, and strategies to ensure Europe remains resilient and open in a volatile global context.
Given the timing of the conference, particular emphasis will be placed on the macroeconomic factors that must be prioritised during the early months of the new European Commission and Parliament. Additionally, the role of the Polish Presidency of the European Council in setting the EU on the right path will be explored.
New for 2025, and expanding the footprint of the conference, invitation-only roundtable sessions will be held in the margins of the event. These sessions will provide an exclusive forum for deeper discussion among top-tier stakeholders, with themes to be announced shortly.
