Best of European Business Summit

<h>We are </h>looking forward to the "grand finale" of our Best of European Business initiative in Brussels on March 15 and 16, 2007.

Celebrating outstanding achievement in business across Europe is at the heart of the Best of European Business (BEB) competition. As the only global consultancy with European roots, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants launched this initiative with the support of strong partners from media and academia to assess the ability of companies to turn their "Europeanness" into global strength. High-level juries have chosen national winners from 8,000 companies in the ten participating countries and in three categories: Growth, Making the best of Europe's opportunities ("Europeanness") and Cross-border M&A.

Now we are looking forward to the "grand finale" of our initiative: The "Best of BEB" at the European Business Summit in Brussels. Organized by the European Federation of Industry with support from the EU Commission, the summit on March 15 and 16, 2007 brings together around 2,000 decision makers from all over the world. More than 90 distinguished speakers will discuss crucial issues regarding business and politics.

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the European Union, the summit will enable business leaders to express what they believe is politically necessary to ensure future growth in the EU. This year, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, the event's strategic partner, highlights just how important business performance is for Europe by celebrating its most competitive companies as part of its BEB competition.

The EBS will take place at Tour&Taxis in Brussels. For further information, please visit the website at
