The Centre for European Transformation (CfET) at Frankfurt School of Finance & Management is a research-driven platform that brings together academics, business leaders, and policymakers to collaboratively address the financial and technological challenges of Europe's transformation. Our work is rooted in rigorous research, focusing on how to finance Europe's transition in key sectors such as energy, automotive, and defense. We analyze the sources of funding—public versus private—the roles of various investors like banks, asset managers, and insurers, the financial instruments employed (debt or equity), and the markets utilized (private capital or public markets). We also explore the role of technology, such as the growing importance of AI, and its impact on society and markets.

Beyond research, CfET serves as a hub for discourse and education. We disseminate our findings through conferences, workshops, and publications, fostering informed discussions among stakeholders. Our educational initiatives aim to equip business leaders with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and contribute to Europe's sustainable transformation. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, CfET is committed to shaping a resilient and forward-looking Europe.
