Transatlantic Week 2026

Monday, July 20, 2026, to Wednesday, July 22, 2026

This year’s Transatlantic Week brought together legislators, senior officials, business leaders, and civil‑society representatives for discussions focusing on the strategic issues shaping the transatlantic partnership.

Held during a period of significant geopolitical, economic, and technological change, the programme underscored the value of sustained dialogue and coordinated action between EU and US partners. Building on the 2025 release of “Transatlantic Vision 2030,” participants continued advancing a forward‑looking agenda rooted in shared democratic values, economic resilience, and innovation.

Across the week’s sessions, stakeholders contributed meaningful insights toward strengthening a more coherent and durable transatlantic framework. Reference materials and the final programme are available here.

Building tomorrow’s partnerships today.

Launched to promote the closest possible partnership between the Governments and the peoples of the European Union and the United States, the Transatlantic Policy Network (TPN) has a proud record of achievement as well as vital ambitions for the future.

From a small original base of support in the European Parliament and the US Congress, TPN has grown into a broadly based multi-party group of EU and US politicians, corporate leaders, think tanks, civil society stakeholders, and academics. Through regular informal dialogue and the maintenance of close personal relationships, TPN participants keep the two administrations focused on the indispensable goal of a strengthened Transatlantic Partnership.

Concentrating on the present while thinking about the future, TPN’s meetings and publications have outlined strategies for establishing the Transatlantic Partnership to be in a position to help set the rules for the global economy in the 21st century.

Looking at long-term trends to define the Partnership’s priorities ahead, TPN helps frame the debate on how governments should anticipate challenges, assess risks, and adopt the necessary policies to sustain global economic and political stability.
