We are pleased to invite you to the first edition of our flagship economic outlook event, UBS The Red Thread Brussels. This year we will focus on Europe’s growth, competitiveness and investment landscape, with keynote speeches from Enrico Letta, Former Prime Minister of Italy, and Paul Donovan, Chief Economist, UBS GWM.
At a moment of heightened geopolitical uncertainty and structural shifts in the world economy, Europe faces a defining question: Can it unlock sustainable growth, strengthen its competitiveness and secure its economic sovereignty – while remaining globally relevant?
The discussion takes place against the backdrop of renewed momentum at EU level to accelerate progress on the Savings and Investments Union.
Does Europe have what it takes?
Our experts will share a clear and actionable outlook for the year ahead, examining trends, risks, and opportunities across financial markets. Together, we will discuss Europe’s position today, where it is heading, and what this means for investors navigating an evolving economic and political landscape.
