The collapse of Germany’s ruling coalition and a subsequent vote of no confidence in Chancellor Scholz’s government have paved the way to anticipated snap elections on 23rd February 2025. Growing political and economic uncertainty in Germany has left many voters concerned about the country's future. As Germany is the largest economy in Europe, the German election has received high attention from the international community. Its result has the potential to redraw the contours of the country’s political landscape and impact the EU’s policies and internal power dynamics, as well as EU-China relations.
What is Germany’s new foreign policy outlook likely to be? How will the new administration impact German industry and EU policy? Which way forward for EU-China relations in this new era, especially under the backdrop of a Trump presidency, and will there be an impact on European business in China?
Join us on 27th February for the fresh insights from industry and policy experts to address the above questions.
*This event will be conducted in English and off the record.
