Shareholder Rights and Economic Sovereignty

 Note: This was an invitation-only event

The European Union is embarking on a reform of the Shareholder Rights Directive, addressing fundamental questions about investor engagement, voting infrastructure, and the balance between market efficiency and corporate accountability. At the same time, a renewed emphasis on economic security has brought Golden Shares and state intervention back to the centre of European corporate governance debates. 

This roundtable convened leading practitioners, policymakers, and scholars to examine these parallel developments and their implications for institutional investors, issuers, and the broader European capital market framework.
