EBS is promoting ideas and solutions for the Europe of tomorrow

At European Business Summits, our core values are the bedrock of our operations, guiding us towards impactful and sustainable outcomes

Challenging businesses

As to how they contribute

To societal welfare

Entrepreneurship and companies create value for themselves and society. At EBS, we offer a platform that empowers businesses to actively engage with society, promoting dialogue, fostering collaboration, and advancing gender balance. This exchange challenges firms to enhance their contributions to societal welfare, driving innovation and positive impact.

Standing

For democracy

EBS is unwavering in our commitment to upholding democratic principles and the rule of law. In times of crisis, such as the conflict in Ukraine, EBS takes decisive action. The inaugural Ukraine's Future Summit convened European leaders and key stakeholders to strategise and coordinate efforts for the country's reconstruction amidst adversity.

Promoting sustainability

And supporting clean energy

Sustainability isn't merely a goal; at EBS, it's a non-negotiable priority.

Since 2016, the Clean Energy Summit has been instrumental in fostering collaboration between industries and policymakers, propelling us towards a greener future.

Contributing

To improving healthcare

Driving the healthcare agenda in Europe has been a priority at the European Business Summit. For over six years, EBS has collaborated with the business community and key policymakers to build a resilient healthcare model in the EU, emphasising its importance even before the Covid-19 pandemic underscored its urgency.

Protecting

European citizens through

A proper defence industry

EBS has always identified the critical importance of European defence.

Over the years, it has united transformative industry players and policymakers to build an autonomous, resilient, and reliable defence industry, ensuring the protection of European citizens through proactive and collaborative efforts in the defence sector.

Defending

Digital Rights & Data protection

At the heart of EBS' mission lies the commitment to safeguarding digital rights through initiatives like the EU Digital Summit. Here, industry key players, alongside EU policymakers and think tanks, convene to tackle pressing issues like privacy in the age of Artificial Intelligence and cybersecurity. EBS fosters crucial dialogues that shape policies ensuring a secure and equitable digital future.

Our mission statement

Our mission is twofold: we aim to bring politics and business together in order to provide them with an opportunity to debate and pursue their common goals, giving a voice to all sides of the debate. The other priority of EBS is to provide European institutions with a platform where they can place their top priorities in the spotlight and advance the development of new pieces of legislation through discussion with a variety of actors and stakeholders.
