CBE-GEIE Operational Management Committee 2026: Bringing Members Together in Lajatico
The event provided an important opportunity for discussion and exchange within CBE-GEIE, which has been operating in Brussels since 1992, connecting its Members with European Union policies, programmes and funding opportunities.
CBE-GEIE’s Members, including banks, foundations and other organisations, benefit from a shared structure that brings together expertise, local communities and a European perspective. Through this framework, CBE-GEIE provides information, advisory and project development support services, while also taking part directly in projects funded under EU programmes.
The Operational Management Committee is one of the key occasions through which the Group strengthens dialogue among its Members, encourages the exchange of experience and expertise, and identifies new opportunities for cooperation.
During the meeting, CBE-GEIE presented its ongoing activities, the development of its services and the prospects arising from European projects, with particular emphasis on the value that can be generated through cooperation between the Brussels-based organisation, its Members and their respective territories.
This cooperation makes it possible to turn the GEIE’s presence in Brussels into tangible opportunities: from gaining insight into EU policies and programmes and assessing potential initiatives to developing projects and building partnerships.
The meeting in Lajatico reaffirmed the importance of a model based on long-standing relationships, complementary expertise and the ability to act as a stable link between Brussels and local communities.
CBE-GEIE would like to thank Banca Popolare di Lajatico for its warm hospitality, as well as all the Members who attended and contributed to the meeting.
