THE DEMOGRAPHIC EQUATION: PEOPLE, POLICIES AND OPPORTUNITIES

As Europe faces unprecedented demographic shifts, the European Demographics Summit will serve as a premier platform for shaping policies that address the socioeconomic challenges of population change. From declining birth rates and an aging population to workforce shortages and inadequate support for younger generations, these trends demand urgent and innovative solutions.

Bringing together policymakers, business leaders, and experts from diverse sectors, the Summit will explore strategies to ensure a resilient and competitive European 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.
