#MSC 2026 at #SALONLuitpold
A European Agora Under Pressure: During the 𝟲𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, we once again became a space for strategic exchange beyond official stages and diplomatic scripts. Over several days, ministers, parliamentarians, defence leaders, economists, tech founders, scientists, diplomats and civil society voices gathered to debate the #geopolitical and #geoeconomic realities shaping our time. From 𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗲 & 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, to 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, #NATO’s future, from 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 to the 𝗪𝗲𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗼-𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵-𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, from 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘆 to Europe’s 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘁𝘆. These conversations were direct, sometimes uncomfortable, always forward-looking.
