The EU-China Business Association is pleased to announce that “The 12th Europe Forum 2026 · Brussels” will take place on Wednesday, 24 June 2026, with offline sessions in Brussels and a simultaneous branch venue in Shanghai.

The Forum is co-organised by the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS), the EU-China Business Association, the China Chamber of Commerce to the EU, the CEIBS AI and Management Innovation Research Center, the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, and ChinaEU.

Under the theme “Competition or Complementarity? Strategic Opportunities in EU–China AI Development”, the Forum will explore how Europe and China can work together in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence.

As AI continues to reshape industries, economies and global governance, Europe and China each bring distinct strengths. China offers large-scale application scenarios, engineering capabilities and industrial scale, while Europe contributes strong governance frameworks, regulatory expertise and a focus on trustworthy AI.

The Forum will bring together political leaders, business representatives, technology experts, academics and thought leaders from Europe and China for a high-level dialogue on AI trends, industrial transformation and future cooperation.
