New Economy Forum established its Forum Europa in Brussels earlier this year, under the motto 'Ideas to Strengthen the Union', in an inaugural conversation with the President of the European Parliament. Since then, Forum Europa has continued to consolidate itself as a meeting point for the political, economic and social spheres of the EU, a platform to analise the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the Union.
Forum Europa is organised thanks to essential contribution of five companies that demonstrate their strong commitment to Europe and its citizens every day: Airbus, International Airlines Group (IAG), Indra, Solaria and Telefónica. So far, Forum Europa has had the honour of organising ten events in 2024, hosting the interventions of:
