Every Thursday morning at 8:30, DGAP’s Research Institute brings together experts and high-level guests to discuss the latest developments in geopolitics. This week, we will look at the European Commission’s Economic Security Strategy that is due to be published on June 20. Given the increasing threats to Europe’s economy that range from supply chains and critical infrastructure to energy security and climate change, its launch is not only timely but also coincides with the German-Chinese government consultations taking place in Berlin. Together with our experts, we will discuss how the new strategy can address Europe’s economic security challenges, especially with a view to China’s rapidly evolving role in the global economy.
