3rd Annual Conference - Centre for European Transformation - Financing European Sovereignty

Published on February 3, 2026

The Centre for European Transformation (CfET) is proud to host the 3rd Annual CfET Conference, bringing together Europe’s leading investors, corporates, and policymakers to address the urgent need for capital in securing defence and energy resilience. Building on last year’s insights into Europe’s strengths in education, innovation, and talent, this year’s conference shifts the focus from recognizing potential to financing action. The agenda centers on mobilizing both private and public investment, forging cross-sector partnerships, and advancing projects that strengthen Europe’s sovereignty in an increasingly volatile global landscape.

It will feature a keynote contribution from Prof. Sigmar Gabriel, Chairman of Atlantik-Brücke and former Minister of Foreign Affairs. It will also include a high-level fireside chat with Martin Blessing, recently appointed Personal Representative for Investment by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, alongside other distinguished speakers

We look forward to welcoming you at Frankfurt School on 12 March 2026.
