By creating long-term, people to people connections and highlighting the shared interest between the next generation of leaders from a variety of sectors, TN2020 enables real, sustainable change on both sides of the Atlantic  The annual TN2020 summits are a key component of the project to ensure this outcome occurs.

Each summit focuses on issues that fall under the three TN2020 programme areas of sustainable living, building resilience in communities and creativity and innovation. Most importantly, each summit has established an enduring international connection with the organisations and communities where it takes place.
