The year 2026 has been anything but dull for equity markets. Geopolitical risks have

intensified worldwide, with the ongoing conflict in the Middle East emerging as a

key market driver this year. The conflict has been driving oil prices, inflation and

uncertainty higher and consumer confidence and economic momentum lower.

Also trade uncertainty has resurfaced on the back of new tariff threats from the US

administration. Despite all those headwinds, extensive fiscal stimulus, particularly

from Germany, is expected to bolster the European economy and fuel growth in the

second half of the year. European earnings could still grow at double digits this year

and many investors have been looking through the recent turmoil.

Against this backdrop, European corporates are confronted with a range of

challenges. The dbAccess European Champions Conference will provide a perfect

opportunity to gain first-hand perspectives from industry leaders as they navigate

these complex markets. It will be insightful to learn how companies cope with

higher cost pressures, the renewed risk of supply chain disruptions, and persistent

geopolitical uncertainty. At the same time, the level of AI adoption and visibility on

efficiency and productivity gains will be key areas of focus.

Join us for an opportunity to engage directly with senior leaders from over 100 top

European firms.
