As holder of the current presidency of the Council of the European Union, Belgium will host the sixth meeting of the TTC on 4 and 5 April in the university town of Leuven.
The EU-US Trade and Technology Council was founded in June 2021 and serves as the foremost platform for transatlantic cooperation on trade and technology.
The meetings are traditionally co-chaired by EVPs Valdis Dombrovskis and Margrethe Vestager, as well as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, US Trade Representative Katherine Tai and US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. Previous editions were held in Pittsburgh, Paris, Washington DC, Lulea and Washington DC again.
Preliminary activities and side-meetings are foreseen on 4 April, with the formal conference taking place in the morning of 5 April. The formal meeting is followed by a press conference, concluding the official program of the TTC. A more detailed overview of the program will be released in due course.
