This will include discussions on the future of EU competitiveness, the Union’s financial interests, the EU as an issuer, and modernizing EU budget revenues through public and private finance collaboration. Participants will notably hear from President Ursula von der Leyen, who will deliver a high-level keynote on a policy-based budget for an Investment Commission, and the Commissioner for Budget, Anti-Fraud and Public Administration, Piotr Serafin.
They will be joined at the event by the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, Denmark’s Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, and the President of the European Investment Bank, Nadia Calviño.
