Berlin Economic Forum 2025

Introduction

The Berlin Economic Forum aims to analyse and explore national economic policies and their applications with the particular focus on sustainable business, responsible foreign investments and environmental sustainibility. The forum will demonstrate how these policies can be used as primary drivers for advancing global economic growth, democracy and peace. The forum will also emphasise the use of cultural diplomacy in the economic policies of nation states and their influence on national presentations.

The global economy influences all areas of our lives and it is intimately connected to issues such as equality and poverty, immigration and integration, healthcare, education, environmental issues and cultural issues. As such, discussion on the future of the global economy should also incorporate perspectives from a diverse range of academic fields, multiple groups and diverse societies.

The January forum will include keynote addresses, panel discussions, plenary sessions, and networking activities. The vision for the forum is to bring an interdisciplinary group of representatives from the public and private sectors, in order to initiate and develop programs and projects that will support sustainable economic growth, democracy and peace.
