Our topics and formats
With more than 100 events a year, we connect people across the Atlantic, create a platform for the exchange of ideas and promote discussions on politics, business, and society.
Who we are
Since its founding in 1952, the Atlantik-Brücke has anchored Germany in Western institutions and inthe partnership with North America—for a strong democracy, global stability, and economic growth. Over the past decades, the Atlantik-Brücke has developed into a broad but deep transatlantic professional network that promotes cooperation between Germany, Europe and North America across industry and party lines.
As a non-profit organization with members from politics, business, academia, media, and culture on both sides of the Atlantic, we strive to renew our founding premise in light of the modern economy, geopolitical circumstances and developments in transatlantic relations. Our annual program includes events ranging from high-level public conferences, seminars and delegation trips to strategy sessions and expert roundtables. Membership is by co-optation.
