Press release: 15 April 2026, Zurich, Switzerland
Europe Delivers, the senior leadership coalition convened by Xynteo, today announced the appointment of Huibert Vigeveno, Group CEO of Swiss-based MET Group, as its new Chairman. Succeeding Peter Voser, Chairman of ABB (now Chairman Emeritus), Vigeveno’s appointment coincides with the pan-European integrated energy company MET Group joining the coalition and the conclusion of the 2026 Summit.
At the Summit, leaders from various sectors moved from ambition to action by launching four dedicated cross-industry projects to deliver economic results and positive impact on Europe’s competitiveness. The projects span the themes of Defence, Critical Minerals, Energy, and Data & AI.
“I am taking on the chairmanship of Europe Delivers at a time when Europe needs stronger coordination between business leaders on the issues that will define its competitiveness. The coalition has a clear opportunity to move beyond alignment and deliver practical initiatives, stronger partnerships, and tangible outcomes in areas where joint action can make the greatest difference.”
Huibert Vigeveno, Group CEO of MET Group and Chairman, Europe Delivers
“Competitiveness depends on leadership across sectors. Huibert’s experience in moving from discussion to execution makes him the ideal leader for this next chapter.”
Peter Voser, Chairman of ABB and Chairman Emeritus, Europe Delivers
