EBRD Annual Meeting and Business Forum
The Annual Meeting of the EBRD Board of Governors is a key strategic event shaping the Bank’s strategic, financial, and operational directions. It serves as a high-level platform for engagement with shareholders, donors, business leaders, civil society, and the media.
The EBRD's 2025 Annual Meeting and Business Forum will be held on 13-15 May in London, United Kingdom.
Traditionally held in one of the EBRD’s regions of operation, the Annual Meeting will be back in London for the first time in almost a decade, providing a very rich programme to foster dialogue on global and regional economic priorities.
Alongside the institutional platform, the Business Forum offers unparalleled networking opportunities, thought-provoking discussions with industry leaders, and insights into emerging economic trends, innovation, and investment opportunities.
Watch highlights from the 2024 Annual Meeting in Yerevan, attended by hundreds of government representatives, regional business representatives, business guests and media.
