What’s next for Europe after the Draghi Report?



Brussels

On March 19, 2026, Finance for Society hosted a high-level conference that brought together policymakers, economists and business leaders to reflect on the future of the European policy agenda in the wake of the Draghi report.

The conference focused on two major transitions that will shape the next chapter of Europe - the green transition and the security transition - and on the crucial political issue of financing these transitions in an increasingly constrained global environment.
This conference was organised with the support of the Helios Foundation.
