Innovation vs. Regulation - a transatlantic conference on navigating policies and a continuously evolving the economic landscape

The Transatlantic Forward-Thinking Forum aims to address the highly relevant topics of geopolitics, such as global trade, climate change, and digital economy while navigating the delicate relationship between fostering innovation and implementing necessary regulations. The goal is to foster dialogue and engagement among diverse stakeholders, including individuals from European and US politics, government, businesses, think tanks, academia, and students.

Join us and get inspired by our series of speakers and networking sessions to bring together leaders, politicians, students, and change-makers and be part of shaping a new narrative!
