With its events, the ifo Institute brings together scientists, decision-makers and opinion leaders and shapes the economic policy and scientific debate.
In our Munich Economic Debates lecture series, the ifo Institute invites thought leaders from the worlds of academia and business to share with us their thoughts and concepts on current economic policy ideas and challenges.

In its four sector forums – Industry, Trade, Construction, and the Service Sector – experts from companies, associations, politics, and research discuss current industry developments, trends, and challenges.
In our series of events "Economy for All", the Ifo Institute and the Ludwig Erhard Zentrum (LEZ) invite interested citizens to attend.

The event takes place every second month in Fürth and is open to the general public.
