The annual “Financing Europe” conference, held most recently on 1 February 2024 in Brussels, focuses on revitalising Europe’s investment landscape to support societal needs and advance towards becoming the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050. The conference aims to foster a collective shift towards sustainable and inclusive economic growth by uniting businesses and governments.
Discussions include policy reforms to enhance competitiveness in Europe, significant investments in new technologies, and strategies to ensure Europe remains open yet resilient in the global market.
This annual conference, now in its 23rd year, represents the premier gathering of those working across finance, investment, economics and the path towards a sustainable and competitive European economy.

In 2025, the conference will continue to focus on the macro factors that must be prioritised during the early months of the new European Commission and Parliament, and how the Polish Presidency of the European Council can play a role in setting the EU on the right path.
Outside of the plenary, focussed sessions will be held on the financing of short-to medium-term large-scale civilian projects, including those related to resilience and civil-preparedness, quantum and cryptography.
