Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope this email finds you well.
The Economic and Financial Affairs Directorate of the European Commission is pleased to invite Minister Liisa-Ly Pakosta to speak at the 26th edition of the Brussels Economic Forum on 7 May 2026.
The Brussels Economic Forum is the flagship economic event of the European Commission, welcoming high-level European and international policymakers, influential academics, opinion leaders, civil society representatives and business leaders to identify key challenges and debate policy priorities for the European economy. Each year, the Forum attracts participants from across the world and it receives wide media coverage. Recent editions had over 20,000 live views and replays, with around 800 participants onsite. Speakers in previous editions include Mario Draghi, Jacinda Ardern, Christine Lagarde, Angela Merkel, Janet L. Yellen, Luca de Meo, Kristalina Georgieva or Professor Esther Duflo, among others.
This edition’s theme is “The EU’s AI economy in the global race”. It will focus on the EU's strategic role and ambitions in the global AI race. A draft agenda can be found attached.
We would be honoured to welcome the Minister, in person, as speaker in the panel discussion “Economic impact of AI: how to make an AI economy work in Europe”. The Minister’s insights would greatly enrich the discussion.
The event will be conducted in English.
For more information about the Brussels Economic Forum and its previous editions please click here <https://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/brussels-economic-forum/2026/index.html> .
Would it be possible to give us a sense of her availability by 20 January?
Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further information.
We look forward to hearing from you.
