The Cyprus Forum Brussels – #CY2026EU Presidency Edition, organised by Oxygen for Democracy and held under the auspices of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union, brought together senior EU officials, policymakers, business leaders, and civil society representatives in Brussels for high-level dialogue on Europe’s future under the Cyprus EU Council Presidency. Discussions centred on strengthening Europe’s strategic autonomy, boosting competitiveness, investing in people and skills, advancing inclusive and resilient healthcare systems, and reinforcing the maritime dimension of Europe’s economy and governance.
Contributions from senior officials underscored Cyprus’s ambition to act as an honest broker at a pivotal moment for the Union, while advancing a forward-looking and values-based European agenda.
With panels examining financing Europe’s competitiveness, shaping Europe’s future through education and youth, and the strategic importance of EU enlargement, the forum offered an open and forward-looking platform for addressing the priorities that will define Europe’s resilience, credibility, and global role in the years ahead.
