'FRIENDS' is a network for entrepreneurs who want to actively shape the future of entrepreneurship in Europe. Founded over 20 years ago, it is now an (inter)national network with around 100 members. Its aim is to strengthen national and international relationships and thus promote entrepreneurship. Because a strong Europe needs relationships based on trust.

Why it is worthwhile

• Participation in the European Economic Forum by Lucerne Dialogue (2 days).
• Exclusive exchange with the participants of the Basecamp in the run-up to the EEF on the traditional Lake Cruise.
• Exclusive entrepreneurs trip (2-3 days) to a European city. The focus is on dialogue with business, science and politics.
• Inspiring networking at one or two networking events during the year.
• Invitation to the 'Meet-up' series of events (thematic impulses from the business world) and 'Soirée Dialogue' (economic networking in neighbouring countries).

The network brings together leaders from national and international companies who are actively committed to entrepreneurship in Europe and have an interest in strong national and international relationships. And true to the DNA of the Lucerne Dialogue, 'FRIENDS' also emphasizes cross-generational dialogue, serving as a network for both current AND future leaders.
