CO-CREATE THE AGENDA WITH US

The thematic agenda is created in the course of dialogue with our partners, experts and participants. The openness of the Congress guarantees the relevance and significance of its agenda.

The programme of the 15th European Economic Congress will surely include crucial thematic areas and trends that are changing the economy and shaping its outlook in a changing environment which proves difficult for doing business.

An open list of the most important trends – which we would like you to treat as an invitation to consultation and an introduction to substantive co-operation – is presented below:

• Geopolitics, the war in Europe, tensions, crises, hot spots, and causes of conflict. The new political and economic architecture of the modern world – the place and role of Europe
• Political and military as well as economic and resource security as a priority. Competition and differences versus co-operation and solidarity
• The support for Ukraine. Its political and economic presence in Europe in the light of Kiev’s EU aspirations and the EU’s eastern policy
• The slowdown, the crisis, and recession. The current state of public finances. Inflation – causes, effects, and forecasts. Monetary policy in the context of the economic situation
• Global trade, expansion and investment in distant markets at a time of instability and dynamic changes taking place in the global economy. Foreign investment in Poland
