The 2025 Bilderberg, the 71st Bilderberg meeting[1], took place in Stockholm, Sweden, from the 12th-15th of June. The dates and location of the meeting were first published on the internet in September 2024, an unprecedented leak.[2] The guests included business executives, politicians, financiers, editors/journalists and academics.
Agenda
The key topics for discussion this 2025 were
- Transatlantic Relationship
- Ukraine
- US Economy
- Europe
- Middle East
- Authoritarian Axis
- Defence Innovation and Resilience
- AI, Deterrence and National Security
- Proliferation
- Geopolitics of Energy and Critical Minerals
- Depopulation and Migration
Analysis
The German sociologist 'Nel' pointed out that:
This June 2025, the Bilderberg invite list shifted even further toward generals, AI titans, and nuclear planners —a signal that today’s 'informal alliance' is less a salon and more a joint-ops war room.
The agenda’s most telling word: Proliferation. Not non-proliferation, but a frank recognition that nuclear sharing (Poland, Romania?) is moving from hush-hush to a talking point. Within days, GLOBSEC's 2025 Forum (a Bilderberg-style offshoot funded by many of the same corporations but leaning toward tech and defense) released a policy brief urging NATO to
'explicitly extend to all three essential pillars of nuclear deterrence: capabilities, resolve, and communication. This holistic approach is critical not only for deterring Russia in a more dangerous security environment, but also for strengthening internal Alliance cohesion, ensuring public trust, and dissuading adversaries from testing NATO’s red lines.'
A poster-child for this converging tech–defense elite is Gundbert Scherf (a participant in 2025 Bilderberg’s meeting and 2024 Globsec conference)
Scherf has never faced an electorate, yet he moves through the same Atlantic Fellowship circuit as sitting ministers: a reminder that, in 2025, key policy levers rest as comfortably in cloud-computing start-ups as in parliaments. When Bilderberg discusses a topic called Proliferation, [his company] Helsing's code base is already poised to appear, months later, as the new Rules-of-Engagement paragraph in a NATO white paper.
The idea first emerges in an off-the-record hotel ballroom, reappears as a panel theme in Bratislava, and finally solidifies into an operational directive in Brussels. These networks no longer merely discuss grand strategy; they prototype it and then sell it back to defense ministries as the next unavoidable step. Proliferation, hypersonics, AI target-selection: each cycle begins with 'informal' diplomacy, migrates to a glossy policy brief, and finishes as a line item in someone’s procurement budget.[3]
