Europe's Moment of Truth

Type: Leadership Dialogue
Speaker(s): Joop de Vries
Date / Time: 25 March 2025 17:00 : 21:00
Venue: De Kazerne Eindhoven

Europe has been rudely awakened from the heavenly sleep it has been in since the end of the Cold War. A new world order is emerging, in which the rest of the world no longer follows the multilateral rules that served Europe so well. With new technologies and new rules, a transition is taking place at an unexpected speed. Europe has limited time to reposition itself. Mario Draghi's report concludes that massive investments on a European scale are needed to stay at the forefront of change. It has been argued that Europe will decide in the next two years whether a trend of declining productivity, security and autonomy can be reversed. For Europe, this is the moment of truth. The key question is whether Europe's leaders will convey a sense of urgency to their voters and gain permission for decisive collective action. We will explore with Joop de Vries under what conditions Europe could pursue Draghi's action plan. Joop is a scenario planner and author, who once headed the famous scenario planning department of Shell. In the plenary introduction Joop de Vries will be interviewed, followed by moderated Roundtable Dialogues.
