Transatlantic Leaders Forum 2026

Frenchfounders is proud to announce the 9th edition of the Transatlantic Leaders Forum (TLF), co-hosted with BNP Paribas, Tikehau Capital and Bpifrance.

The Transatlantic Leaders Forum is a one-day event held at the BNP Paribas Auditorium in New York, where the worlds of business, tech, and investment converge for conversations that matter.

This year's theme is The New Growth Map: Build. Bet. Lead.

Geopolitics is redrawing the economic map. AI is creating territories that didn't exist five years ago. Capital flows where the old rules no longer apply. TLF 2026 is the room where the builders, the investors and the leaders who are writing the new map come together, and where the boldest bets of the decade get made.

Over 500 senior leaders from both sides of the Atlantic.
Fortune 500 CEOs, top-tier investors, unicorn founders and European policymakers will gather for a full day of substantive, off-the-record dialogue. With 30+ speakers across fireside conversations and curated sessions, TLF has earned its reputation as the "mini Davos" of the transatlantic business community.

Past speakers include Yann LeCun, Hans Vestberg, Anish Melwani, Roland Lescure, Mathieu Chabran, Barbara Corcoran and David Jones, and the 2026 lineup promises to set a new bar.

Whether you come to build, to bet, or to lead: TLF 2026 is your room.

November 17, 2026 · 7:30 am – 5:00 pm
BNP Paribas Auditorium · 787 7th Avenue, New York
