About this Event
Join us at the AC Hotel Atocha to dive into why the Americas matter for the future of Europe - don't miss out on this discussion!
The Patriots for Europe Foundation is launching a conference series titled “A New Alliance – Why the Americas Matter for the Future of Europe”. The event will take place in Madrid at the AC Hotel Atocha (Calle de las Delicias 42) on Thursday April 16th.
In an increasingly multipolar world, the relationship between Europe and the Americas is gaining renewed strategic importance. Shared historical ties and common political values provide a strong foundation for deeper cooperation. At the same time, evolving geopolitical challenges, shifting trade dynamics, and global security concerns are reshaping the transatlantic partnership.
Joined by distinguished members of Fundación Disenso, we will explore the role of the Americas in shaping Europe’s future, with a focus on political and cultural collaboration. Featuring keynote speeches and panel discussions during the entire conference series, policymakers, scholars and experts will examine the influence of emerging powers in the Western Hemisphere. The goal of the series is to foster dialogue, strengthen partnerships, and contribute to a better understanding of Europe’s strategic opportunities in relation to the Americas. This is the inaugural event of the conference series.
Join us afterward for a cocktail reception!
