3. Annual Conference 2026 “Financing European Sovereignty”
2026-03-12 13:30 - 20:30 UTC | FS Campus, Adickesallee 32-34, Frankfurt am Main, Hessen, 60322, Germany
The Centre for European Transformation (CfET) is proud to host the 3rd Annual CfET Conference, bringing together Europe’s leading investors, corporates, and policymakers to address the urgent need for capital in securing defence and energy resilience. Building on last year’s insights into Europe’s strengths in education, innovation, and talent, this year’s conference shifts the focus from recognizing potential to financing action. The agenda centers on mobilizing both private and public investment, forging cross-sector partnerships, and advancing projects that strengthen Europe’s sovereignty in an increasingly volatile global landscape.
Participants will discuss practical steps required to reinforce Europe’s sovereignty including defence as well as a sustainable energy future, while also highlighting the enabling role of digital infrastructure and secure financial networks. We will explore concrete barriers and financing solutions that can unlock real progress. With the motto “Last year, we saw opportunity. This year, we are building the investment and actions that will turn opportunity into European resilience,” the 3rd Annual CfET Conference positions itself as a platform for turning vision into coordinated action for Europe’s long-term security and prosperity.
We look forward to welcoming you in Frankfurt on 12 March 2026.
