Delegation Trip to Milan

After two successful and insightful delegation trips to Paris and Warsaw as part of Atlantik-Brücke’s “Europe Initiative”, we are extending our collaboration to other strategically important European partners. We cordially invite you to save the date for the upcoming delegation trip to Milan.

Italy and Germany are key partners within the European Union and NATO and further strengthened their bilateral relationship through an agreement on enhanced cooperation in the fields of security, defense, and resilience signed in January 2026. Against this backdrop, Milan – Italy’s financial capital and the center of the industrial powerhouse region of Lombardy – provides an ideal setting to explore opportunities for closer German-Italian cooperation across finance, industry, innovation, and research.

With these delegation trips, we aim to deepen our thematic exchanges with our European partners in areas of particular transatlantic relevance. Together, we want to advance a renewed transatlantic partnership on equal footing, while fostering closer strategic dialogue on shared political, economic, and security challenges.

We will put together a program of meetings with political leaders, business stakeholders, and academic institutions for two days for the trip.
