Goodbye

We would like to thank the 700 participants for two days of  inspiration and enriching encounters and discussions. We addressed the question of what do we need to do to avoid waking up to a European economy home alone and incapable of fulfilling its demands?

Distinguished personalities from business, politics, science and society shared their views on the most pressing issues of our time on stage and discussed solutions for the future in the sessions.

We look forward to welcoming you next year in Lucerne on 26 & 27 November 2025.

Nine months after taking office, Chancellor Friedrich Merz is under pressure. Domestically, he is struggling with a weakened coalition; internationally, he faces an increasingly uncertain global environment. Speaking at the European Economic Forum, Gordon Repinski, Executive Editor of Politico Germany, portrayed a chancellor with a strong instinct for the moment – but clear shortcomings when it comes to strategy and long-term thinking.
