It is an initiative of BUSINESSEUROPE and the Federation of Enterprises in Belgium (FEB). Every year it attracts 1,500 participants including; CEOs, Heads of State, Presidents of the European Commission and European Council, European Commissioners, and 200 journalists. In 2013, José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission described the EBS as playing “a key role in supporting Europe’s large entrepreneurial potential”.

EBS 2014 takes place on the 14th and 15th of May in the Palais d'Egmont in Brussels and will look at The Business Agenda 2014 – 2019: Rebuilding a Competitive Europe. EBS 2014 presents a significant opportunity for business leaders to present their priorities - looking beyond the crisis and towards a more competitive and better-functioning Europe. The summit sessions will cover topics such as the digital economy, boosting industrial policy, financing innovation, bridging the skills gap, an energy strategy for Europe, international trade (including the Transatlantic Trade & Investment Partnership), and maintaining citizens’ trust.
