Securing Europe’s Future: Capital, Resilience & Transformation in a Fragmented World

As our flagship event, this limited-capacity Forum brought together 150 senior decision-makers and industry leaders for two days of high-calibre, influential discussions.

About the 2026 Forum

Against a backdrop of shifting macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical pressures, and evolving security concerns, the Forum explored how these forces are reshaping investment decisions and long-term infrastructure strategy. Discussions focused on practical approaches to strengthening European infrastructure, with a clear emphasis on innovation and strategic resilience.

Held in Amsterdam, the Forum featured two days of insight-led discussion with experts at the forefront of infrastructure finance, policy, technology, and security. Through keynote sessions, panel discussions, and interactive roundtables, participants exchanged ideas, built valuable connections, and engaged in meaningful dialogue at a striking venue in the Zuid district.
