TSI Annual Conference 2025

The Conference

The 2025 edition of the TSI Annual Conference "Supporting reforms – Shaping the Future Together" took place on May 13th, 2025 in Brussels.

The Conference showcased how EU support helps Member States deliver on their reform agendas and align national reforms with EU priorities. The Conference brought together high-level inspirational speakers and panelists from the EU Member States and the EU institutions to exchange on impactful reforms, their challenges and lessons learnt.

This year’s Annual Conference also paved the way for the official launch of the TSI 2026 Cycle, and the communication of its priorities for the upcoming year.
