A Conversation with MEP Damian Boeselager

How can Europe remain competitive in a rapidly changing global environment? Join us for a discussion with Damian Boeselager, Member of the European Parliament, Vice Chair of the Parliament's Economy Committee, and co-founder of Volt Europa, as we explore the intersections between economic competitiveness, innovation, and democratic governance on both sides of the Atlantic.

As global power shifts and new technologies transform economies, Europe faces pressing questions: Can democratic institutions keep pace with economic demands? What lessons can be drawn from the United States’ approach to innovation, investment, and political polarization? And what role can European citizens and policymakers play in shaping a more dynamic and inclusive future?

This event offers an opportunity to engage directly with a leading European voice on reform, policy, and the future of transatlantic cooperation.

A Q&A will follow the discussion.
