Five thousand participants from more
than 60 countries will attend the 32nd edition of the Karpacz
Economic Forum, the so-called Davos of the East, the most
critical conference in Central and Eastern Europe, scheduled for
Sept. 5-7. The New Values of the 'Old' Continent - Europe on the
Verge of Change is the theme chosen for this year's event,
organized by the Institute for Oriental Studies Foundation in
cooperation with the city of Karpacz and Lower Silesian
Voivodeship.
The Economic Forum launched 30 years ago, is a meeting for
representatives of politics, business, and science. This year's
edition includes more than 400 security, energy, and
international politics debates. The Health Protection Forum, the
Regions Forum, business and management, and sustainable
development will be among the most critical issues of the
summit.
In addition, considering Russia's war on Ukraine, a particular
focus in the program will be dedicated to the Ukrainian path
under the name 'Reconstruction of Ukraine.'
Discussion panels will cover the future of Europe, the
Polish-Ukrainian partnership, financing the reconstruction of
the Ukrainian economy, and Ukraine in the European Union.
Since 2018 an essential aspect of the forum has been the
Report on the State of the Economy of Poland and Central and
Eastern European Countries: this is a scientific study conducted
by the organizing entities and the Warsaw School of Economics.
Awards for outstanding personalities, companies, and
organizations are included in this year's forum edition. Three
categories: Man of the Year, Company of the Year, and Central
and Eastern European Non-Governmental Organization.
Italy announced the presence of a large group of
participants, including entrepreneur Paolo Pininfarina, former
Deputy Foreign Minister Emanuela Claudia Del Re, General
Vincenzo Camporini, CNEL Secretary-General Francesco Tufarelli,
Paolo Acunzo (ENEA), and professor Giosuè Prezioso, an expert in
crypto-culture.
