Keynote: European Sanctions Strategy

Thursday October 1, 2026 13:30 - 13:50 CEST

Sanctions have become a central instrument of geopolitical and economic policy, with direct and often immediate implications for business operations. This session will provide insight into the strategic intent, direction of travel, and expected evolution of EU sanctions frameworks.

It will explore how policymakers are balancing political objectives with economic impact, what companies should anticipate in terms of enforcement and scope, and how businesses can better align their compliance and risk strategies with an increasingly complex and dynamic sanctions environment.
