Previous forums covered alternative energy, financial services, life sciences, and technology and innovation.
The forum will feature panel discussions with state business leaders who participated in a recent trade mission to the European Union.
They will talk about opportunities in the European marketplace and recent regulatory developments that affect trans-Atlantic commerce.
Anne-Marie Slaughter, Princeton University professor of politics and international affairs, and former director of policy planning for the U.S. State Department, will be the keynote speaker.
The CES has led a coalition of partners — including the N.J. Business Action Center; the European-American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey; the New Jersey Technology Council; and Rutgers’ Heldrich Center — Wto organize a series of forums emphasizing key industries.
They are funded by a Getting to Know Europe grant from the Delegation of the European Union to the United States in Washington, D.C.
