Brussels Forum 2007

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. Participants include heads of state, senior officials from the European Union institutions and the member states, U.S. Cabinet officials, Congressional representatives, Parliamentarians, academics, and media.

Today, the United States and Europe are striving to deepen transatlantic cooperation on a vast array of distinctly new, global challenges from promoting stable states and economic opportunities to confronting climate change and energy security, 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.

Brussels Forum is put on by the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF), the Bertelsmann Stiftung, DaimlerChrysler, and the Federal Authorities of Belgium & the Egmont Institute. Additional sponsors include Fortis and the Ministry of Defence Republic of Latvia.
