The European Business Leaders’ Convention (EBLC) was founded in 2002 as a forum where top business leaders and experts can exchange views on European politics and economics in an informal setting. The annual Northern Light Summits are organised by European Business Leaders’ Convention and participation is by invitation only. The Summits are intended for corporate executives who need to understand politics and for experts who need to understand business. It deals with Europe, transatlantic relations, Russia and the impact of technology on business and society. Our perspective is distinctly Nordic, i.e. pragmatic, solutions-oriented and forward-looking. The discussions are daring, intellectually stimulating and relaxed. The EBLC Northern Light Summit 2023 will be held in Helsinki on 29 June - 1 July under the theme “How to Navigate the Perfect Storm?”
