An open, intense and multi-layered debate about Polish economy – a one-day cycle of discussions and meeting between business people, politicians, scientists, and pundits.
A prologue to the 18th edition of the European Economic Congress (23-25 April, 2025, Katowice), EEC Trends is a key milestone in the development of the agenda of Central Europe's largest business conference.
At EEC Trends, the agenda of the European Economic Congress – each year born out of discussions and consultations – assumes its final form. Its current format is a response to the latest challenges of volatile times, forecasting events that will determine the future of economic development.
This year’s edition of EEC Trends is going to address subjects that will define the direction of the three days long European debate in Katowice.
Economic security and the role of industry in developing political as well as social and economic resilience will be a leading subject of the meeting held in Warsaw. All that will be closely linked to the subject of the competitiveness of Polish manufacturing that needs to be protected in a dynamic and volatile environment.
The future of the transition of Poland's energy sector will be instrumental from the perspective of its competitiveness. The strategy and direction of the change, their regulatory framework, and investments give rise to questions about the goals, effectiveness, opportunities, and risk factors. “Acceleration now” is a slogan of this segment of the debate held in Warsaw.
The success of the program of investments in Poland’s transport infrastructure will exert a key influence on the condition of the economy and its functioning. Here, again, time is of the essence.
Events, tendencies and technologies that are critical from the perspective of the transition of Poland’s economy, effective support of Polish exporters and investments abroad, the green transition and decarbonisation in strategies of Polish businesses, worries about the labour market – these topics will complement the rich agenda of EEC Trends.
The EEC Trends will be accompanied by an evening gala of WNP Awards – a distinction awarded by editorial staff of the WNP.PL portal. The jury of the competition is going to award those who emerge successful from challenging situations, transforming hardships into opportunities.
We invite you to cooperate with us, share your thoughts and exchange inspiring experiences during discussions and meetings at EEC Trends!
