architecture, culture and tech.<\/p>\n<p>For nearly two decades, the Congress has been one of Central Europe\u2019s largest and most influential economic events, providing a platform for dialogue where ideas and initiatives are shaped and have a tangible impact on economic development in Poland and across Europe.<\/p>\n<h2>Three days of intense debates<\/h2>\n<p>Each edition of the Congress brings together three days of intensive debates, meetings and discussions focused on the most pressing challenges of our time \u2014 from geopolitics and sovereignty to the energy transition, as well as the development of new technologies and investment.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s programme will focus on key themes including Europe\u2019s geopolitical pressures, sovereignty and competitiveness, the energy transition and investment, as well as digitalisation and emerging technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Previous editions have brought together around 1,300 speakers, more than 13,500 participants and over 200 debates, with a similar scale expected this year. <\/p>\n<p>Beyond the formal programme, thousands of informal meetings and conversations take place, bridging vision and practice and helping to foster meaningful business relationships.<\/p>\n<p>For this emerging cohort, economic development is no longer defined solely by growth, but also by social responsibility, the energy and digital transitions, and a renewed approach to sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>The Congress will be attended by business leaders, government representatives and experts.<\/p>\n<p>Among the speakers are Jerzy Buzek, former prime minister of Poland and former president of the European Parliament, and Bogdan Benczak, president of PZU. Government figures include Krzysztof Gawkowski, deputy prime minister and minister of digitalisation, Katarzyna Pe\u0142czy\u0144ska-Na\u0142\u0119cz, minister of funds and regional policy, and Katarzyna Kotula, minister for equality.<\/p>\n<p>Business leaders attending include Micha\u0142 Boles\u0142awski, president of ING Bank \u015al\u0105ski, Rafa\u0142 Brzoska, founder and CEO of InPost, and Sebastian Kulczyk, international investor.

in Katowice.Katowice, once the heart of Poland\u2019s coal industry, is now a fast-evolving city where heavy industry meets modern architecture, culture and tech.For nearly two decades, the Congress has been one of Central Europe\u2019s largest and most influential economic events, providing a platform for dialogue where ideas and initiatives are shaped and have a tangible impact on economic development in Poland and across Europe.Three days of intense debatesEach edition of the Congress brings together three days of intensive debates, meetings and discussions focused on the most pressing challenges of our time \u2014 from geopolitics and sovereignty to the energy transition, as well as the development of new technologies and investment.This year\u2019s programme will focus on key themes including Europe\u2019s geopolitical pressures, sovereignty and competitiveness, the energy transition and investment, as well as digitalisation and emerging technologies.Previous editions have brought together around 1,300 speakers, more than 13,500 participants and over 200 debates, with a similar scale expected this year.Beyond the formal programme, thousands of informal meetings and conversations take place, bridging vision and practice and helping to foster meaningful business relationships.For this emerging cohort, economic development is no longer defined solely by growth, but also by social responsibility, the energy and digital transitions, and a renewed approach to sustainability.The Congress will be attended by business leaders, government representatives and experts.Among the speakers are Jerzy Buzek, former prime minister of Poland and former president of the European Parliament, and Bogdan Benczak, president of PZU. Government figures include Krzysztof Gawkowski, deputy prime minister and minister of digitalisation, Katarzyna Pe\u0142czy\u0144ska-Na\u0142\u0119cz, minister of funds and regional policy, and Katarzyna Kotula, minister for equality.Business leaders attending include Micha\u0142 Boles\u0142awski, president of ING Bank \u015al\u0105ski, Rafa\u0142 Brzoska, founder and CEO of InPost, and Sebastian Kulczyk, international investor.
