Brussels, Belgium 10-11 May 2010 - Europe has been hit hard by the financial and economic crisis. With most indicators pointing to continued turbulence ahead, stakeholders will have to adapt and forge closer relationships in order to mitigate risks and seize emerging opportunities. Given the high degree of geopolitical and economic interdependence in the region, the outcome of these efforts will have a far-reaching impact.

With the full support and close collaboration of the Belgian government and the new EU leadership, as well as the Forum’s key Strategic Partners, the World Economic Forum on Europe will convene 400 of the most prominent leaders from the European Union and other parts of the world on 10-11 May 2010 in Brussels, Belgium.
