Leadership Roundtables

A curated series of invite-only, closed-door, high-intensity leadership dialogues where Europe’s ministers, CEOs, tech leaders, innovators, investors and regulators stress-test the continent’s competitiveness, capital stack and security in a fragmenting world.

Participation is strictly limited to 30 participants per session to ensure depth, discretion and high-value exchange. Each session is led by a leader and co-leader and runs for 60–90 minutes. Topics may evolve in the lead-up to the event based on market feedback.

Sovereign Competitiveness Playbook: The Draghi Agenda

Turn Draghi’s €800-billion-a-year blueprint into a short list of reforms and investments that governments and boards can actually deliver by 2030, instead of another report on the shelf.

Who Should Attend:

Heads of government and chancellery policy units, finance and economy ministers, central-bank leaders, group CEOs, board chairs, senior partners from strategy firms.

Capital Union: Unleashing Europe’s Investment Firepower

Rewire Europe’s capital markets so household savings, pensions and insurers can finance late-stage AI, deeptech and climate infrastructure inside Europe, rather than pushing scale-ups to sell or list abroad.

Who Should Attend

Finance ministries, regulators, sovereign and pension funds, banks, exchanges, growth and infrastructure investors.

NIS2 Cyber Boardroom: Securing Critical Europe

Use NIS2, DORA and the Cyber Resilience Act to build one board-owned cyber-sovereignty programme across 18 critical sectors, instead of fragmented compliance efforts that still leave gaps.

Who Should Attend

Interior, digital, energy and finance ministries; national regulators; CEOs of critical infrastructure, health and financial firms; CISOs; chief risk and resilience officers; cyber-consulting leaders.

Deeptech Scale Engine: Chips, Quantum and Climate

Close Europe’s deeptech scale-up gap by tying EIC/EIB funding, industrial and defence procurement, and corporate pilots into a predictable pipeline for chips, quantum, space and climate-tech champions.

Who Should Attend

Deeptech founders and scale-ups, sovereign funds, corporate innovation leaders, deeptech VCs and growth investors.

Euro-Stack Strategy: Cloud, Compute and AI at Home

Who Should Attend

Industrial Power Reset: Energy for Fabs and AI

Build a credible plan for affordable, low-carbon baseload and modern grids so chip fabs, green steel, chemicals and AI data centres choose to expand in Europe rather than relocating for cheaper power.

Who Should Attend

Energy and climate ministries, regulators, utilities and grid operators, industrial and data centre CEOs, infrastructure and energy investors.

Core Systems Breakout: Europe’s Hidden Sovereignty Risk

Explore pathways to retire fragile legacy IT across banks, factories and public services, and finance the core-system upgrades that sovereign AI, data spaces and cyber resilience depend on.

Who Should Attend

CIOs, CTOs and COOs in large enterprises and public bodies, regulators overseeing core systems, enterprise software leaders, systems integrators, infrastructure and private equity funds, digital transformation partners.

AI Act to Advantage: Enterprise Playbook for Europe

Use the AI Act as a design brief for trustworthy, high-value AI products and workflows, turning compliance into competitive advantage across finance, healthcare, industry and the public sector.
