European Economic Conference (EEC)

Europe is a promise – of diversity, combined strength, and freedom.

The EU is essential for Europe’s economy and freedom. It creates a common market of over 445 million people, providing unprecedented access to trade, investment and innovation. By promoting the free movement of goods, services and capital, the EU enables businesses to realize their potential, open up new markets and generate growth. The third F.A.Z. European Economic Conference in the ESMT in Berlin and with our co-initiator United Europe provides a platform for representatives of European business, politics and academia to discuss the role of the EU in promoting economic growth, social cohesion and sustainable development. The conference promotes relevant debates and solutions for a strong Europe. We invite everyone to get actively involved and shape the future of Europe together.

Our guests are, among others, Friedrich Merz, Chairman of the CDU Germany and Chairman of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag; Wolfgang Schmidt, Federal Minister for Special Tasks and Head of the Federal Chancellery; Peter Adrian, President of the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Dr Marie Jaroni, Head/SVP Decarbonisation, ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe AG,  and Günther H. Oettinger, President United Europe e.V.
