A distinguished panel of institutional representatives and influential figures from various sectors will share their insights.
The debate will feature an esteemed panel, including the following confirmed speakers:
- Enrico Letta, Former Prime Minister of Italy and Independent Rapporteur on the Future of the Single Market for the Belgian Presidency of the Council.

In the 15th Beyond Borders Breakfast Debate, strategies to overcome obstacles faced by SMEs in cross-border regions will be explored.
Together, we will delve into the current challenges, best practices, and innovative solutions to enhance the effectiveness of the Single Market. The debate will also feature interactive polls and you will be able to ask questions in the chat, giving you the chance to engage directly with the discussion.
