Europe's Future in the Tension between Competition, Sustainability and Social Cohesion

How can Europe remain economically strong while not losing sight of social achievements and sustainable goals? The online event on November 11, 2026, brings together European politics, Bavarian economy, and journalistic perspectives. Central to the discussion are global crises, geopolitical tensions, and the question of how Europe actively shapes its future.

A Current Debate on Europe's Ability to Act

The international situation is changing rapidly. Global supply chains, new trade conflicts, and intensified competition pose strategic challenges for the European Union. At the same time, there is a growing expectation to connect prosperity, climate protection, and social security.

The event will provide a clear context for these developments and open space for questions from the audience. The interactive online discussion is aimed at all those who want to not only observe European politics but also understand and shape it better.

Perspectives from the EU Commission, Journalism, and Business

Among the guests is Michael Hager, Chief of Staff to EU Trade Commissioner Vladis Dombrovskis. His perspective connects European economic policy with current challenges for competitiveness and strategic capacity to act.

Carla Sappok, journalist and member of Team Europe Direct, adds a communicative and socio-political view to the discussion. Christoph Angerbauer, Head of International, Industry, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship at the IHK Munich, brings in the experiences of a significant economic location.

Online Event with Room for Discussion

The evening will be moderated by Johannes Wessel-Bothe from Europe Direct Augsburg. The digital format allows for easy participation from home or the office and combines professional context with direct exchange.

From event planning to target audience engagement, the format focuses on understandable information and participation. The atmosphere of the audience is created not in the hall, but in the digital dialogue: questions, assessments, and different viewpoints become part of the event experience.

Conclusion: Join the Discussion on Europe's Future

The event promises a concentrated evening with political impulses, economic insights, and an open discussion about the future of Europe and Bavaria. Those wanting to know how competitiveness, sustainability, and social cohesion can be considered together will experience an informative and interactive online event. Participation is free, registration is required.
