EUROPE 2025 Rethinking European Sovereignty

March 26 - 27, 2025
Berlin | digital

On 26 and 27 March 2025, DIE ZEIT, Handelsblatt, Tagesspiegel and WirtschaftsWoche will be focusing on Europe: for the fifth time, the four leading German media will be hosting their joint conference “EUROPE 2025”.

How can Europe’s sovereignty be strengthened regarding security, the economy and innovative technologies? At “EUROPE 2025”, we want to spend two days examining the most pressing issues, developing ideas and finding solutions because we care about Europe! You, too?

Europe is under pressure, both from outside and from within. Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election will have noticeable consequences for Europe: for Europe as a business hub, for global trade, for the defence alliance NATO and the future of our liberal democracy.

But the EU must also be united internally. In the EU parliamentary elections, right-wing populist parties have made significant gains on the national level in many member states. They are promoting nationalist ideals and trying to weaken Europe as a whole.

Europe is confronted with the most diverse challenges of our time: Russia’s war against Ukraine, international competitiveness, the shortage of skilled labour, infrastructure, bureaucracy reduction and digital transformation, migration, climate change and the maintenance of a resilient healthcare system for all.

In these turbulent times, it will now become even more important to strengthen, support and defend the “European project”.

Together with our renowned guests – and you – we are looking for solutions to the challenges in these turbulent times!
