Under the guiding motto “Brands for the Future”, the summit will serve as a powerful global platform to advocate for innovative solutions to today’s most pressing challenges for brands and branded businesses, at the United Nations, within the European Union and worldwide.

The summit will address how global brands are reshaping financial markets, advancing sustainable investment strategies, and contributing to geopolitical economic resilience. International policymakers, financial leaders, Digital & AI pioneers and Women Leadership thought leaders will gather to explore how brands drive market value, sustainable leadership, and inclusive economic growth in a rapidly evolving global landscape.

“We cannot build the future with the models of the past. The economic and societal responsibility of brands has never been greater,” said Prof. Dr. Gerhard Hrebicek, President of European Brand Institute. “This summit will set new benchmarks for financial leadership, sustainable brand economies, women leadership and investment opportunities in Europe and beyond.”
