The European Democracy Summit 2026 brings together business leaders, policymakers, democratic reformers, and European institutions to examine the growing challenges facing liberal democracy across Europe and their implications for economic stability, competitiveness, and public trust. Organised with the Council of Europe, the summit explores how democratic resilience underpins innovation, investment, the rule of law, and market confidence. Through high-level discussions, keynote speeches, and cross-sector exchanges, participants will assess the state of European democracy, explore reforms to strengthen democratic legitimacy, and identify practical ways businesses can contribute to safeguarding and renewing Europe’s democratic foundations.
