CONFERENCE AT THE ADLON KEMPINSKI HOTEL
We warmly welcome you to our conference at the Hotel Adlon Kempinski in Berlin! The ballroom provides a setting for the event that is both prestigious and stylish. The elegant architecture, the festive ambiance, and the special atmosphere of this historic hotel create the ideal setting for high-caliber insights, thought-provoking discussions, and personal encounters.
The Berlin Forum is the annual conference that emerged from the Tax & Legal Excellence Network Forum. It builds on the exclusive networking meetings of the Excellence Forum’s members, serves as a bridge between representatives from politics, government, academia, and business to facilitate the exchange of their diverse perspectives, and functions as an overarching, international platform for connecting top decision-makers.
Held in the heart of the capital, this event combines professional excellence with exclusive hospitality. The ballroom provides a space for focused discussions as well as for those informal conversations that give rise to new perspectives, valuable contacts, and lasting connections. An extraordinary venue for a select group of decision-makers.
STRATEGIC PARTNERS
We are pleased to welcome the Aspen Institute Germany, the German Atlantic Society, and the German Council on Foreign Relations as strategic partners of the Berlin Forum. Together, we will address the significant geopolitical shifts and their far-reaching implications for the economy, the legal system, and society. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to gain valuable insights and networking opportunities offered by our partnership.
The three institutions contribute their analyses of foreign and security policy, while the Berlin Forum translates these into implications for the economy, the legal system, and society. This interplay gives the conference its distinctive character.
The Aspen Institute Germany is committed to fostering open, democratic, and effective societies in the Euro-Atlantic region. It strengthens the transatlantic partnership and promotes cohesion within the Euro-Atlantic community. The Institute’s goal is to develop shared responses to the major security, economic, and social challenges of the 21st century.
The Deutsche Atlantische Gesellschaft e.V. has set itself the task of deepening understanding of the goals of the Atlantic Alliance and providing information about NATO policy. It is committed to strengthening the European pillar of NATO and close ties with the two North American democracies. The focus is on supporting NATO and its values and promoting transatlantic dialog in politics, business and society.
The German Council on Foreign Relations is committed to a sustainable German and European foreign and security policy that is grounded in democracy, peace, and the rule of law. Founded in 1955, the organization is politically independent and, as a research and membership organization, shapes the foreign policy debate in Germany.
Mission Statements
More than four years after the so-called “turning point” was declared, Germany and Europe face a lasting test. Security, energy supply, economic strength, and technological sovereignty are more closely intertwined than ever before. Resilience and strategic capacity to act will determine whether Europe can maintain its prosperity and political self-determination. Interdisciplinary dialogue among decision-makers provides guidance and fosters sustainable solutions for shaping our shared future.

The world is in a state of upheaval. Led by Russia and China, autocratic regimes are preparing to challenge the West. At the same time, Europe and Germany must prepare for security and geo-economic threats without the United States as a reliable partner. The only response to this global turning point is to become more independent—and thus more self-reliant in foreign policy—and to invest heavily in economic and technological capabilities as well as defense capabilities.
