The European Business Summit creates this common meeting point by bringing together all the different actors, providing a forum for them to exchange their views and together exert some leverage.
The goals of the European Business Summit (EBS) organization are:
- To set up a platform for dialogue between the business world and the architects of the European political scene;
- At each summit, to cover in-depth a new 'hot topic' linked to current events, through an exchange of views between industry representatives and European political decision-makers;
- To enable SMEs to meet political decision-makers face to face and to enhance the visibility of these businesses;
- To increase companies' knowledge of European affairs; and
- To create a climate of dialogue and confidence between these different actors, in order to reinforce the European social and economic model.
This year's Summit focuses on "Research and Innovation: A European strategy for more growth and jobs", (11-12 March in Brussels). The organisers hope to raise awareness among political and business decision-makers about the link between employment growth in the high-tech sector and growth in overall employment.
