EU Economic Update (WEBINAR) May 27 12pm CST
2026-05-14 18:00 - 20:30 | Marie Gabrielle Restaurant and Gardens, 2728 N Harwood St, Dallas, 75201, United States
WEBINAR | Quarterly EU Economic Update: This Time Is Different – Europe Builds on its Foundations for Stability and Growth
President Trump’s decision to attack Iran has the potential to transform the Middle East – but at least in the short-term has led to sharply higher energy prices. But unlike in 2022, when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine triggered an energy crisis, this time Europe is much better prepared. The EU has greatly expanded its use of renewable energy, has diversified its suppliers of oil and natural gas, and has upgraded its domestic energy infrastructure.
Moreover, the European economy is on a much sounder footing. Euro Area inflation is at target, and pandemic-era supply chain problems are no longer causing price increases. Heading into the war, the EU economic expansion was gathering speed, helped by a strong labor market and growing household consumption, public spending on defense and infrastructure, and a recovery in the German manufacturing sector.
Higher energy prices will, of course, be a drag on EU growth the longer they last. But this time is different: the EU’s capacity to weather this and other storms is continuously improving. Progress is made in the field of competitiveness (Industrial Accelerator Act), easy in scaling up in the EU’s internal market (EU Inc) and the Savings and Investment Union.
Please join Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild, Ben Carliner, Willem Kooi, and the EACC New York as they discuss the European Commission’s new Spring Economic Forecast, which will be the first to incorporate the impact of the conflict in the Middle East on the EU economic outlook.

Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE):
With 90 Members, ITRE is one of the two largest committees of the European Parliament.
ITRE legislates on several key policy areas of the European Union, being the committee responsible for energy, research and innovation, industry and SMEs, digital, telecoms and cybersecurity, as well as space policy.
ITRE plays a major role in adopting legislation for the transition of our energy systems to promote the common goals of energy efficiency, security of energy supply, the development of renewable forms of energy, the interconnection of energy networks and bringing down energy prices.
ITRE is also responsible for legislation aimed to ensure Europe’s sustainable prosperity and competitiveness. We constantly aim to reinforce the European industry, strategic autonomy and tech sovereignty and to achieve a clean, just and competitive transition for the benefit of our citizens.
We believe that the European economy should ensure quality jobs for people and the right conditions for companies to be competitive and grow, putting also research and innovation at the heart of our economy.
During the 10th parliamentary term, we aim to continue using our legislative powers to fulfil the expectations of European citizens and bring positive changes to their lives.
Borys Budka
Chair of the ITRE Committee

EACC Leadership Summit 2026
We are excited to invite EACC Board Members to join Executive Directors from across the EACC network at the 2026 Leadership Summit in Texas this fall.
📅 Thurs – Sat October 29-31, 2026
📍 Dallas, Texas
👉 Explore how to further strengthen and position the EACC network for continued growth and impact while fostering relationships among EACC Directors and (Board) members.
👥 For EACC Exec Directors + Board Members with relevant expertise and interest in contributing to the discussion
As the organization looks toward its next phase of growth in the 2026 EACC Leadership Summit, the leadership experience and perspectives of our Board leaders will be invaluable in shaping discussions around the future of the network.
Board leaders will have the opportunity to engage directly with EACC leadership from across the U.S. and Europe and contribute to conversations focused on:

Strengthening network governance and leadership
Defining the EACC’s strategic positioning and long-term sustainable impact
Identifying priority markets and regions for future chapter expansion
Exploring scalable frameworks and investment models for launching and sustaining new chapters

Beyond the strategic discussions, the Summit offers a unique opportunity to build relationships with fellow Board Members, Executive Directors, and transatlantic business leaders from across the EACC community.
Why is this an important time to address these topics?
The EACC is a trusted, curated, independent (non-political, non-lobbying) network, uniquely positioned to support its members in transatlantic business development. Especially in major themes (AI/tech sovereignty, shifting geopolitical landscape, energy, supply chain resilience, trade policy, protectionism, industry policy, strategic autonomy), there is a huge potential for our network to benefit from the changes in the transatlantic relationship.
