Concordia Summit 2025

Dear Friends,

Today, we are proud to share the first details of the 2025 Concordia Annual Summit with you and celebrate what will be a milestone moment on our 15th anniversary. This year’s gathering will be a tribute to 15 years of collaboration and connection.

What began as a gathering of around 100 people has evolved into a global community, bringing together heads of state and government, CEOs, and experts from around the world. Over the years, we have expanded our reach, hosting summits, roundtables, and events across continents. Concordia has become a place where leaders and emerging leaders from every sector—government, industry, and civil society—convene to produce market-based solutions. What we set out to achieve 15 years ago has not only been realized but, in many ways, has evolved with the times.

More than just an event, Concordia has established itself as an institution—one built on the exchange of ideas, the pursuit of pragmatic solutions, and a shared commitment to advancement. This would not be possible without you. Whether you’ve joined us as an honored guest, speaker, partner, sponsor, or patron, your voice has shaped our mission, strengthened our community, and built a lasting influence.

We both look forward to seeing you at the summit this September, where we can celebrate your work and prepare for an even greater future. Our team is already hard at work ensuring that this year’s summit is worthy of such a milestone.

Below, you’ll find our refined set of themes for this year’s discussion. We look forward to your leadership and expertise in answering some of the questions we’ve posed and what topics you’ll bring to the summit.
