🇪🇺 🇨🇳 The 12th CEIBS Europe Forum 2026 • Brussels | Shaping the future of AI through China–Europe dialogue

As artificial intelligence reshapes industries, economies, and global governance frameworks, the need for dialogue between China and Europe has become more important than ever.

At the 12th CEIBS Europe Forum in Brussels and Shanghai, policymakers, business leaders, academics, and innovators came together to explore the theme "Competition or Complementarity? Strategic Opportunities in EU–China AI Development".

From AI governance and industrial transformation to robotics, supply chains, education, and global talent, the forum highlighted that while China and Europe may follow different development paths, their complementary strengths create significant opportunities for cooperation.

🔑 Key highlights:
✅ AI is no longer simply a technology issue, it is reshaping geopolitics, industries, governance, and global order.
✅ Europe and China demonstrate strong complementarities: China excels in scale, engineering, and application, while Europe leads in governance, regulation, and trusted frameworks.
✅ Turning competition into “co-opetition” is essential to unlock innovation while maintaining stability and trust.
✅ The future of AI will depend not only on technology, but also on infrastructure, talent, governance, and international collaboration.

👏 A big thank you to our co-organisers, partners, speakers, and participants for making this cross-continental dialogue a success!
