Join us for a discussion on the prospects for ‘Global leadership: A transatlantic opportunity’ at the annual AmCham EU Transatlantic Conference.
The advent of the Biden administration presents the chance to reset the transatlantic relationship and focus not on what divides us, but what unites us. EU-US leadership is needed to rebuild a world economy devastated by the impact of COVID-19 and to ensure future healthy, connected and sustainable societies.
Over three days, high-level European and American decision makers alongside business and academic thought leaders will discuss how the EU and the US can collaborate on trade, climate change and digital economy issues.
The Transatlantic Economy Report 2021 will be launched during the event. This annual report presents the most up-to-date facts and figures about the EU-US economic relationship.
