The Brussels Economic Forum 2017 will take place on 1 June at Flagey. This annual flagship economic event of the European Commission attracts 1,000 participants every year, including media representatives, and provides a major networking opportunity. It is the place to take stock of economic developments, identify key challenges and debate policy priorities. Now in its 17th edition, this year’s forum is entitled “The EU Economy at a crossroads: Pathways to enhanced cohesion, integration and prosperity”. The event will focus on how to fight inequality in a context of modest growth; the future of the EU economy at 27; and on addressing the question of whether migration is a challenge or an opportunity for the EU economy and society. The opening lecture will be given by François Villeroy de Galhau (Governor, Banque De France) and the keynote speech will be given by George Soros of the Open Society Foundations. Registration is now open.
