Relay for Life 2024

For 24 hours over Saturday, 1 and Sunday, 2 June, the AmCham EU staff, members, alumni and their families campaigned and raised funds for the fight against cancer at the annual Relay for Life at the Stade du Pachy in Waterloo, Belgium. Cancer touches all of our lives in one way or another, and staying on the track for a whole day represents a small tribute to the perseverance of cancer patients and their loved ones. AmCham EU was able to raise our goal of €10,000 with special thanks to Amazon, DuPont, FTI Consulting and TE Connectivity, among many others.

How influencing EU policymaking has changed

On Wednesday, 28 January, Thibaut L'Ortye, Senior Director of Public Affairs, represented AmCham EU at the launch of Hanover Communications’ Power Shift series. During the discussion, Mr L'Ortye highlighted how influence in EU policymaking has evolved over time, with shifts in tactics and approaches reflecting a changing political environment. He also addressed the interactions between the EU institutions, emphasising the importance of tailoring advocacy strategies to the specific roles and dynamics of each institution. Mr L'Ortye further noted how an increasingly complex geopolitical environment is shaping policy priorities and influencing the way businesses operate.
