EUROPE 2026 Europe Rising: Anchor in a Shifting World?

17. - 18. März 2026
Berlin | digital

On 17 and 18 March 2026, DIE ZEIT, Handelsblatt, Tagesspiegel and WirtschaftsWoche will jointly host their sixth major Europe conference.

Amid global upheavals and growing geopolitical tensions, Europe is facing pivotal choices. Transatlantic relations need to be recalibrated, the international security situation remains tense, and more than ever, Europe is called upon to assume responsibility and demonstrate strength.

EUROPE 2026 is dedicated to precisely these questions: How can we secure Europe’s competitiveness in an increasingly fragmented global economy? How can we reduce our dependencies regarding energy, raw materials and key technologies? What does it take to implement the green and digital transformation not only politically, but also economically? And last but not least: How can we inspire young people to engage with Europe and its democratic values?

Whether industry, start-ups or SMEs, Europe’s companies bear responsibility and have potential – but new alliances, clear positions and reliable strategies are needed.

Join us for two days at EUROPE 2026 – for discussions and let us develop together new ideas for this great project Europe.

Register now for the digital event.
