Gathering Momentum for Europe!

“A sovereign Europe is a prerequisite for preserving peace in freedom and the achievements and values of our European Union and its democratic culture,” says family entrepreneur and co-initiator of the Sovereign Europe Forum, Martin A. Schoeller. “The European principle of peace in freedom is based on the systematic prevention of power abuse and the recognition of ALL existing national borders. This is the key to the success of the past 80 years.”

Three pillars form the central foundations for a strong, capable, and self-determined Europe.

The protection and strengthening of democracy, with full respect for human rights, is our declared objective. Europe must be able to protect its own security, prosperity, and values.

As the fourth global power, Europe requires stronger security, economic, and political integration. The Sovereign Europe Forum brings together politicians, business leaders, top managers and experts to translate Europe’s sovereignty into action—through autonomous defense capabilities, technological independence, and strong capital mobilization.

Through joint events, panels, and forums, we bring together experts, committed entrepreneurs, top managers, and key decision-makers. The aim is to develop concrete solutions for how a sovereign Europe can be implemented swiftly on the basis of independent defense capabilities and autonomous key technologies, in order to effectively meet the geopolitical challenges of our time.


For a Europe capable of action. Democratic. Values-based. Sovereign.

Entrepreneurs, top managers, and leaders therefore founded the Sovereign Europe Forum (i. G.) on 19 December 2025, together with United Europe e.V. and the European Forum Alpbach. The objective of the Forum is to make an effective contribution to the strategic and operational implementation of European sovereignty through dialogue between politicians, business leaders, top managers and experts—by developing concrete and actionable policy recommendations.

Joint Forces

Europe Panel, United Europe, and the European Forum Alpbach pursue the same goals and jointly advocate for a strong, sovereign, and united Europe through organized events.
