Brussels Forum: Transatlantic Challenges in a Global Era April 28, 2006 / Brussels



Brussels Forum is an annual high-level meeting of the most influential American and European political, corporate, and intellectual leaders to address pressing challenges currently facing both sides of the Atlantic.  The inaugural Brussels Forum took April 28–30, 2006, in Brussels, Belgium.  Heads of state, senior officials from the European Union institutions and the member states, U.S. Senators, and Parliamentarians were among the 200 participants.   Today, the United States and Europe are striving to deepen transatlantic cooperation on a vast array of distinctly new, global challenges from fostering the growth of democracy to confronting pandemics and terrorism, yet there is no single transatlantic forum focused on this broad and increasingly complex global agenda.  Brussels Forum provides a venue for the transatlantic community to address these pressing issues.  By bringing together leading politicians, thinkers, journalists, and business representatives, Brussels Forum helps shape a new transatlantic agenda that can adapt to changing global realities and new threats.

The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) launched Brussels Forum in partnership with the Bertelsmann Stiftung as a key intellectual partner, the DaimlerChrysler Corporation Fund, the Federal Government of Belgium and the Government of Brussels-Capital Region, and the Monitor Group.
