Atlantic Council

The purpose of this new program launched in 2007 is to tap one of the Euro-Atlantic community’s most important but le­ast leveraged points of strength – major companies and their executives – to help ensure global security and prosperity during­ a potentially unsettling time of change.­

Studies have shown that the transatlantic economy continues to generate some $3 trillion in sales a year and 14 million jobs. In fact, European companies have more money invested in the state of Texas alone than the United States has invested in China and Japan combined. The cross-Foreign Direct Investment is perhaps the most powerful glue, aside from common values, holding together the Atlantic community. The purpose of the Council’s corporate program is to leverage this strength for 21st century challenges.

Our new corporate program offers new benefits and better access to the world’s political and economic leaders. The Council builds upon its rich half-a-century history of bringing together transatlantic elites and most powerful transatlantic policy and decision makers in an intimate setting allowing exclusive networking opportunities.

The Council staff is devoted to assisting our corporate partners in deriving the most value out of their corporate membership, and is ready to profile the program to suit their needs and interests best.
