A Space to Analyze Trends and Coordinate Responses

The forum serves as a meeting point where politicians, researchers, and specialists from multiple fields exchange perspectives. The central axes revolve around geopolitics, the economic situation, advances in innovation, and how to make Europe more autonomous on a strategic level.

  • Define paths to strengthen the EU's economy and innovative capacity.
  • Seek mechanisms to achieve effective strategic autonomy.
"Europe must provide coordinated and firm responses to external challenges," highlighted a high-ranking community representative.

Opening Dialogue with Raffaele Fitto

One of the initial moments included a conversation with the Vice-President of the European Commission, Raffaele Fitto. In his participation, he emphasized the crucial importance of keeping international dialogue channels permanently open. He also addressed the conflict in Ukraine and the process to expand the European Union, underscoring the need for the continent to act united.

Key Points of the Intervention:
  • Maintaining constant international exchange is fundamental for stability.
  • The situation in Ukraine and EU expansion are priority issues on the agenda.
  • European coordination is the indispensable response to complex external challenges.

A Platform to Build Alliances and Strategies

This event essentially serves to facilitate high-level conversations among attendees. These exchanges aim to lay the foundations for future cooperation in decisive areas. The ultimate goal is to harmonize visions and coordinate initiatives that strengthen the role of Italy and the European Union in the global context. Bringing together diverse perspectives allows for the design of shared tactics to navigate the intricate current geopolitical and economic reality. In the end, although coordinating so many experts may resemble planning a menu for a large family, all agree on the main course: the urgency to take action. 🤝
