Joint Chamber Debate: The Future of Europe: Competitive, Sustainable and Thriving?

On May 22 the Swedish, American, German and Norwegian Chambers of Commerce in Latvia will host a pre-election debate in the run-up to the European Parliament election scheduled for June 6-9, 2024.  

Latvians along with millions of Europeans will have a chance to shape the future of the European Union. The Members of the European Parliament will formulate policies affecting both businesses and individuals, including those elected from Latvia.

In a time of significant political and geopolitical tensions, the new European Parliament will need to address a myriad of issues starting from post-pandemic economic recovery to climate change and environmental sustainability, from increased security threats to digital transformation.

The debate will focus on the vision and priorities of the parties to ensure safe, competitive, sustainable, and prosperous Europe and Latvia as part of it. Joining the debate will be the leading candidates from the most popular political parties according to the latest polls.

Dr. Janis Ikstens, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Latvia and Visiting Professor of Riga Graduate School of Law will provide an overview of the political landscape and moderate the debate among the party leaders likely to be part of the next EU Parliament. 

The debate will provide a unique platform for the international business community to directly engage in a discussion with the party leaders likely to be part of the next EU Parliament.
