Salzburg Summit 2026

At the 2026 Salzburg Summit, our Director General Markus J. Beyrer delivered a clear message: "Europe's security and competitiveness go hand in hand."

A strong economy is essential to innovate faster, develop critical technologies and build resilient supply chains.

On the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) reform, he added: "The EU ETS needs to reflect changing market realities and incentivise investments in decarbonisation without putting businesses at a competitive disadvantage."
