EU-India Summit 2026
Outcomes, Gaps, and the Road Ahead
The forthcoming EU–India Summit, scheduled for 27 January 2026, takes place amid heightened geopolitical uncertainty and shifts in the global order. Its strategic context has been shaped in part by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s recent visit to India, a key bilateral precursor.
As the EU and India increasingly position one another as essential partners, cooperation has deepened well beyond trade to include digitalisation and emerging technologies, green technologies, supply-chain resilience, climate governance, and defence and security cooperation. The Summit is expected to serve not only as a stocktaking exercise, but also as a signal of longer-term intent in an increasingly fragmented international system.
Against this backdrop, we invite you to join our upcoming webinar, jointly organised with the Council for Strategic and Defense Research (CSDR), which will critically assess the Summit’s outcomes—including, if realised, the long-anticipated EU–India Free Trade Agreement.
