House of Europe Davos 2027: One Invitation List for the EU at WEF Week
By The Davos Collective · 29 October 2026 · 7 min read
House of Europe brings European institutions, business and investors into a shared Davos-week setting, coordinated by European Business Summits. The venue and dates are confirmed; programme, access arrangements and speaker attendance are not.
Europe’s new shared address in Davos
For years, European participants in Davos have gathered through national houses and separate institutional networks: Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden and Poland among them. The launch of House of Europe adds a different proposition to the Davos houses 2027 landscape: a common platform centred on European policy and economic priorities.
The host’s official announcement confirms that House of Europe will operate at Promenade 50, Davos, from Monday 18 to Friday 22 January 2027. European Business Summits (EBS) coordinates the initiative, with support from the European Commission, the European Investment Bank Group, the European Innovation Council and the European Research Council.
Its distinction is institutional rather than simply geographic. The House is designed to bring EU-level leadership, industry, policymakers and capital into one meeting environment during World Economic Forum week. The announcement describes a full-week platform, not a single conference session.
That does not make the House a single public invitation list or a universal entry pass. It is a shared setting, while individual sessions and meetings may have different access requirements.
What is confirmed, and what remains pending
The difference between an announced host, a published invitation and a confirmed appearance matters when planning Davos 2027 events. The official House of Europe page lists invited speakers; it does not establish that each has accepted or will attend.
Status Details
Confirmed by the host Promenade 50, Davos; 18–22 January 2027; EBS coordination; support from the European Commission, EIB Group, EIC and ERC
Published as invited A list of senior European institutional figures and policy leaders
Not announced Programme, individual session schedule and access or registration method
Not established by an invitation A speaker’s attendance, appearance time or availability for meetings
The House of Europe page publishes the host’s current description and invited-speaker list. A Davos Access listing, updated on 28 October, also records the dates while identifying programme and access details as pending. The host’s press release is the source for the venue confirmation.
Who is on the published invitation list?
The names below are invited speakers, not confirmed attendees. The list spans the Commission, Parliament, central banking, investment, research and civil-society leadership.
Invited speaker Published role
Ursula von der Leyen President of the European Commission
Roberta Metsola President of the European Parliament
Christine Lagarde President of the European Central Bank
Nadia Calviño President of the European Investment Bank
Maria Leptin President of the European Research Council
Stéphane Séjourné Executive Vice-President for Prosperity and Industrial Strategy
Maroš Šefčovič European Commissioner for Trade
Marta Kos European Commissioner for Enlargement
Maria Luís Albuquerque European Commissioner for Financial Services and the Savings and Investments Union
Silvana Koch-Mehrin Founder and President of Women Political Leaders
This is a notable concentration of European institutional offices in one published roster. It is not a complete Davos attendee list 2027, nor a confirmation that all listed invitees will take part. For readers asking Who is attending Davos 2027, the accurate answer at this stage is narrower: these individuals have been invited to House of Europe; their attendance remains unconfirmed.
Themes to watch in the programme
The detailed agenda has not been released. The themes below are informed expectations based on the launch announcement, supporting institutions and invited roles, not a confirmed session schedule.
- Competitiveness and industry: Europe’s industrial strategy, productivity and ability to scale businesses.
- Savings, investment and capital markets: The mobilisation of European capital and the Savings and Investments Union.
- Trade: The EU’s external commercial relationships and the direction of trade policy.
- Enlargement: The economic and political implications of EU enlargement.
- Research and innovation: The role of frontier science, technology transfer and innovation funding.
- Energy, security and resilience: Areas identified in the launch material as part of Europe’s wider strategic agenda.
The host describes a format that may include public panels, closed-door roundtables, bilateral meetings, media engagements and receptions. Until session details are published, these remain format expectations rather than bookable opportunities. The announcement quotes ERC President Maria Leptin on bringing European science and innovation into international discussion, and EIC Board President Michiel Scheffer on connecting European talent, technology and global competitiveness. Those statements set out the initiative’s intended emphasis; they do not substitute for a programme.
What the Belgium House record can, and cannot, tell us
EBS’s prior Davos experience offers useful context. Belgium House ran 17 sessions over four days in 2026, of which 13 were open to registered guests, according to the Davos Access event tracking. Its programme included From Risk to Resilience, with Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever and Singapore President Tharman Shanmugaratnam.
That record shows the organiser has run a multi-session Davos programme with both open and restricted formats. It does not confirm that House of Europe will repeat the same session count, public-access model or format. The 2027 programme and access conditions must be assessed on their own published terms.
Who should track House of Europe?
The House is particularly relevant to organisations whose decisions are shaped by European policy, markets or funding:
- Companies exposed to EU rules, trade policy or public funding.
- Investors tracking European savings, investment and capital-market initiatives.
- Energy and defence businesses following industrial resilience and security debates.
- Researchers and innovators connected to ERC or EIC funding and networks.
- EU candidate countries and organisations monitoring enlargement.
- Non-European leaders seeking a concentrated view of European priorities.
For Davos investors 2027, the potential relevance lies in the announced focus on investment and capital markets, not in any unannounced deal flow. Davos deal opportunities should be treated as conversations to investigate, not outcomes guaranteed by attending a House.
Other European rooms during WEF week
House of Europe will sit within a wider programme of national and thematic gatherings. Current listings identify these related rooms and events:
Event Published timing
European Resilience Summit Wednesday 20 January
House of Switzerland Tuesday 19 to Thursday 21 January
Finnish Flow Tuesday 19 January
UK House Dates to come
House of Romania Dates to come
Dutch House Dates to confirm
Swedish Lunch Dates to come
The dates above are the published status at the time of writing; listings may change as hosts update their plans. The WEF 2027 events calendar provides a broader view of Davos side events 2027, while the Davos houses directory tracks House-level information. A House listing is not proof of admission to its sessions.
Planning, access and the limits of an invitation
The host has not announced how to request access, whether particular sessions will require separate registration, or when applications may open. There is therefore no verified method yet for Davos event registration at House of Europe.
For now, prospective participants can:
- Monitor the official House of Europe page for programme and access updates.
- Distinguish an invited speaker from a confirmed speaker and a listed event from an open event.
- Check each session’s access terms once the schedule is published.
- Build a wider meeting plan around relevant dates, venues and independently hosted events.
Independent side-event access is separate from the official World Economic Forum programme. For background on How to attend Davos without a WEF badge, see The Davos Collective’s access guide. Accommodation and venues should also be assessed against confirmed locations and travel time; the Davos 2027 cost guide covers planning considerations. Those guides do not imply access to House of Europe.
The wider planning context includes WEF 2027 dates, World Economic Forum 2027 events and the evolving Davos 2027 events calendar. Other relevant searches, including India delegation Davos 2027, require their own current evidence and should not be inferred from this House’s invitation list.
Conclusion
House of Europe is the clearest move yet toward a shared European institutional presence among Davos houses 2027. Its dates, Promenade 50 venue, coordinating organisation and supporting institutions are confirmed by the host; its programme, access method and invited speakers’ attendance are not.
