Security, resilience and innovation

We are pleased to invite you to a high-level evening combining strategic dialogue and cultural excellence.

Leaders from public institutions, finance, strategic industries and legal practice, bringing international perspectives, will discuss how Europe, and Luxembourg in particular, can better align public instruments, private capital and industrial capacity to reinforce security, resilience and long term competitiveness. With a particular focus on Luxembourg’s ability to act as a strategic enabler in this evolving landscape.

The conference will be followed by a private concert performed by the Academicians of the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra, and a cocktail reception.
