ABOUT

Europe’s strength is our shared responsibility

Europe is at a crossroads. Wars on its borders, geopolitical polarisation, and economic upheaval threaten stability and prosperity. But instead of turning inward, we must take bold and cooperative action—across borders, disciplines, and generations. Switzerland, too, benefits from a strong Europe and shares responsibility for its future.

The politically neutral Lucerne Dialogue initiative fosters solution-driven dialogue. As a leading business conference, the European Economic Forum brings together thought leaders from business, politics, research, and society to develop concrete solutions—for a sovereign, competitive Europe with a strong Switzerland.

Organisation

Lucerne Dialogue, based in Lucerne, is an association and therefore not for profit. The Board of Directors is composed of the members of the Executive Committee and is advised by the international Advisory Board. For the operational implementation and the management of the office, the Board of Directors has mandated the company LINDEN 3L AG, based in Bern.

Our History

Founded in 1996, Europa Forum Luzern was established to reinforce Switzerland’s European ties after the 1992 EEA vote. With strong support from leaders, organizations, and the Canton and City of Lucerne, it evolved continuously. In 2019, the election of Marcel Stalder (CEO ChainIQ) as President set the stage for a strategic transformation, leading to the repositioning and renaming as Lucerne Dialogue in 2023.
