Join BearingPoint ETM.next at the CECE Summit 2025 in Brussels, where industry leaders, EU policymakers, and technical experts will gather to examine the European Union’s regulatory ambitions under the theme “Smarter Rules, Stronger Industry.”

Why to attend

The Summit will critically assess whether the EU’s recently introduced Omnibus Package 1 (February 2025) marks meaningful progress toward reducing regulatory complexity and reviving Europe’s industrial competitiveness. While the package is a step forward, the conversation will focus on whether deeper reforms are needed to eliminate red tape and streamline compliance.

CECE will present real-world examples, including concerns around the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and the shift toward digital compliance tools. The debate will center on whether these changes truly simplify processes or introduce new layers of complexity.

Throughout the event, participants will explore not just what regulations should change—but how and when. Discussions will focus on identifying which burdens can be lifted immediately, which rules should be revised or removed, and what progress can realistically be achieved before 2026.

BearingPoint is proud to contribute to this pivotal dialogue, helping shape a smarter, more agile regulatory landscape for Europe’s industrial future.
