Taking the transatlantic pulse: a new trade, tech and green agenda
Tuesday, 18 March 2025
As political priorities on both sides of the Atlantic drift apart, the foundation of the North Atlantic economic and security architecture is being called into question. With new global alignments taking shape and geopolitical rivals asserting their influence, the EU-US relationship is more politically fragile than it has ever been. A fractured transatlantic alliance risks breaking the strategic framework that has underpinned Western stability for decades. Meanwhile, rapid technological advancements are intensifying competition, forcing the EU and US to choose between advancing their leadership or falling behind. If cooperation falters, so does the ability to defend shared interests and values. Join us to assess what is at stake as the transatlantic partnership is put into question and what the consequences are for the future of Western leadership.

A look back at the Transatlantic Conference 2024
This year’s Transatlantic Conference, ‘The transatlantic effect: shaping the global agenda’ put the focus on how Europe and the US can shape global values, set international standards and drive change.

As an opening video, Gina Raimondo, US Secretary of Commerce, underlined the importance of keeping the transatlantic dialogue open through forums like the Trade and Technology Council (TTC). Stephen Boyle, Global Chief Trust Officer, Workday, then expanded on why businesses need to be transparent and trustworthy, especially with rapid advancements in technology. Want to see for yourself?
