The Atlantic Council and Atlantik-Brücke will host the Transatlantic Forum on GeoEconomics: A New Anchor for the US-European Partnership on September 30, 2025. This is the fourth convening of the Forum, hosted by the Atlantic Council’s GeoEconomics Center and Europe Center and the Atlantik-Brücke, which will gather senior policymakers, business leaders, and experts in Brussels to reimagine US-European coordination and cooperation at the nexus of trade, national security, and technology.
This conference in Brussels will take place one year into European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s renewed mandate and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte’s term. It will feature senior representatives from the Trump administration and private-sector leaders from both sides of the Atlantic.
The objective of this year’s forum is to anchor the US-European relationship, which is beset by headwinds including division over the war in Ukraine, trade tensions, and disagreements over the future of defense and military spending.
The conference will also discuss the following topics:
- Triangulating on trade
- Transatlantic AI and competitiveness
- Funding European defense
- The dollar and the euro
