    A different Europe in a different world

    A new plan for Europe is needed – the ‘status quo’ no longer works. Political transformations in Europe are inching towards populism and isolationism – what is their impact on business conditions? What does the European option associated with the free market in the economy and democracy in politics have to offer? The economy in Europe after Brexit. Repercussions for economic exchanges, the European job market and finance. Likelihood of other exits – a deterrent effect? Possible changes in European cohesion policy (budget reduction and a greater orientation towards competition). A two-speed Europe: Is it a scenario in the making? The new role and position of the euro area. What about the countries of ‘inferior speed’? The countries of Central Europe in view of internal transformations of the European Union.

    The 4th Industrial Revolution – our present reality

    The exhaustion of current drivers of economic growth. The knowledge-based economy and the European development model. Reindustrialisation – in theory and practice. Modern industry as a foundation for development – towards European specialisations. How is value created in the economy today? The international division of labour and the world superpowers in the light of technological progress. Facets of innovation – the importance of the R&D sector in European industry. How to fund and sell it, or innovations in the market. Digitisation of the economy – opportunities and pitfalls. Information and big data management as a challenge for business, administration and citizenship. Cyberthreats – prevention is better than cure.

    A new capitalism – but what kind?

    Do we need to save capitalism from itself? An attempt at a diagnosis. Economic liberalism is subject to a crossfire of criticism. If not economic freedom and the market, then what? Growth, yes, but not at all costs – in search of balance. Sustainable development in a new context. The economy’s social responsibility: environment, healthcare, ethics. Migration, crises and the European job market. New answers to the old question: how much state intervention in the economy? The state as a regulator and creator of economic policy, company owner and investor – what does the free market say?

Changes in national education systems in the light of employer expectations. How to educate for the market in an era of constant change? Social capital, a deficit good.

The investment climate in Central Europe and Poland. Not ‘How much?’ or ‘How many?’ but ‘How?’ Investments of high value for the economy and the labour market. Financing of projects as part of EU programmes. Infrastructure comes first – main directions of public investments. The art of competing for investors – versatile tools and special incentives. What hampers private investment and what stimulates it?
