Held in Costa Navarino, Greece, Imagination played a central role in the experience design and delivery of the first Europe Gulf Forum, to advance strategic cooperation between the two regions.
Bringing together senior political leaders, policymakers, and business figures from across Europe and the Gulf, the event saw three days of discussion on geopolitics, investment, energy, security, AI, and strategic collaboration.
The Forum was created through a partnership between Antenna Group and the Atlantic Council, conceived as the first dedicated platform for strategic cooperation between the two regions. Theodore Kyriakou, Chairman of Antenna Group, and Frederick Kempe, President and CEO of the Atlantic Council, co-chaired the event, combining Antenna Group’s media, content, and entertainment expertise with the Atlantic Council’s think tank approach.
Held in May 2026 and reinforcing Greece’s position as a meeting point between Europe and the Gulf, the event drew heads of state, prime ministers, senior policymakers, investors, and international media. Imagination supported the experience design, operational integration, and delivery of the event, working alongside Antenna Group, the Atlantic Council, and a network of international partners to shape an environment for high-level dialogue and strategic relationship-building.
Conversations throughout the summit centred on long-term investment partnerships, infrastructure, energy transition, technology, security cooperation, and regional resilience. Organisers described it as a new chapter in Europe-Gulf relations.
For Imagination, the project adds to our work delivering international experiences that sit at the intersection of business, politics, government, and culture.
The Europe Gulf Forum represented something far bigger than a traditional conference. It was a live demonstration of how experience, diplomacy, business, and culture now intersect in real time. We were incredibly proud to support the delivery of a platform bringing together some of the world’s most influential voices at such an important geopolitical moment.
