European Business Summit, Europe’s key meeting place for business leaders and decision makers, is the debate platform where Business and Politics Shape the Future. Every year, the EBS attracts more than 2000 participants from over 60 countries, including: the President of the European Commission, members of the European Commission, members of the European Parliament, Heads of State, CEOs, high-ranking individuals and about 200 journalists and broadcasters. After the steam engine, mass production and automation, the fourth industrial revolution is on its way, fueled by the digitalisation. Under the theme ‘Europe 4.0 – Delivering a vision for the future of Europe’, EBS 2015 will focus on how the industry and the society are impacted by the digitalisation. (www.ebsummit.eu)
