TIC Summit 2026: “A New Industrial Order: Power, Rules, Scale and Trust"

The world is changing how it produces and trades. Countries are following different paths, but our economies remain connected—and keeping them working depends more than ever on trust and safety.

On 19 May 2026TIC Council will host the TIC Summit 2026 in Brussels. The Summit is where leaders and experts will come together to discuss how we keep global systems connected in this new era—and how trust allows trade, innovation and energy transition to continue, even as rules and priorities evolve.

The day will open with a keynote by Bertrand Piccard, who will share how bold ideas, such as his Climate Impulse project, only become real-world solutions when their safety and reliability are proven.
