Cities and Regions Forum
Brussels Belgium
The 2025 Forum will explore how local action drives global change in a world shaped by growing geopolitical competition and slow progress on global agendas.
Focusing on the EU’s Global Gateway Strategy and its 360° approach, the event will highlight the key role of local and regional authorities in advancing the Team Europe approach and localising the Sustainable Development Goals.
Since 2009, the Forum has been the leading global event for international decentralised cooperation, organised by the European Commission (DG INTPA) and the European Committee of the Regions (CoR).
