Webinar | How Economic Security will shape the EU 2024 - 2029 Agenda | 11 July 2024 | 12:30 pm CEST

About the webinar

Join us on 11 July 2024 for an online discussion with Bernd Lange MEP, Pascal Lamy, Merit Olthoff, and Sir Jonathan Faull on how Economic Security will shape the EU 2024 - 2029 Agenda.

Geopolitical and economic developments, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the trade disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic, have heightened concerns about the European Union’s exposure to hostile countries. Europe's dependence on regions supplying critical resources is becoming increasingly untenable, prompting the launch of an EU Economic Security Strategy last year. In recent months, tensions between the EU and China have escalated, with the EU adopting a more assertive approach to address distortions affecting the resilience of its supply chains.

How will the results of the EU elections impact the focus on economic security? What can companies expect in the next months? The webinar will delve into these critical topics, aiming to provide a comprehensive analysis that will aid businesses in navigating the new EU political landscape.

We look forward to welcoming you online!
