The Second Thessaloniki Metropolitan Summit

The annual Economist Thessaloniki Metropolitan Summit which is being organised in partnership with powergame.gr will deliver fresh, robust, and action-oriented insights through an in-depth conversation with global policymakers, luminaries and key stakeholders on the occasion of the Thessaloniki International Fair.

Russia’s war against Ukraine is creating a new division in Europe that is changing global power politics irrevocably. Threats for peace and stability as well as the consequences to the economy and energy supplies are at the forefront of current developments. The summit shall also aim to address the challenges and opportunities for business, energy security and the pivotal role of Northern Greece while infrastructure and circular economy projects in the pipeline will also be presented.

• How can the EU reinforce its role in international conflicts?
• US-Greek business and economic relations in an everchanging geopolitical landscape
• US energy policy in south-east Europe: the role of northern Greece
• Circular economy: Greece’s objectives and implementation
• Decarbonising southeast Europe: a big challenge for the green transition
• Structural reforms: what does the digital impulse in Greece teach?

Government officials and leaders from Europe and the United States will once again meet in Thessaloniki to engage in yet another meaningful discussion and debate on the critical issues at hand.
