Join us on 14 November 2025 at the National Bank of Belgium in Brussels for a high-level conference exploring Europe's energy future and its critical role in maintaining industrial competitiveness. As part of Bruegel's 20th Anniversary celebration, this event brings together leading industry executives, policymakers, and energy experts to address one of Europe's most pressing challenges: achieving a decarbonized energy system by 2035 while ensuring economic competitiveness.
Through two comprehensive sessions and high-level discussions, we will examine expert projections for Europe's energy landscape, assess the business perspective on the energy transition, and clarify the financial mechanisms needed to support this transformation. Industry leaders from ELIA, INEOS, and Umicore will share their insights alongside key policymakers including representatives from the European Commission, ACER, national regulators, and government officials.
This is a unique opportunity to engage with decision-makers shaping Europe's energy policy and to understand how the transition can be achieved in a way that supports both climate goals and industrial competitiveness. Whether you represent industry, government, financial institutions, or civil society, this conference will provide essential insights into the practical pathways forward for Europe's energy future.
