“The Europe of Tomorrow. ‘Strong’ Meaning What?” is the leitmotif of the 29th edition of Economic Forum to take place in Krynica on 3-5 September. The international meeting will provide an opportunity to discuss the economy and development of Central-Eastern Europe. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and ministers representing his government already announced their presence.

Economic Forum in Krynica has become a permanent fixture in the calendar of prestigious conferences related to economy, business and international cooperation. This year will mark its already 29^th edition, which will be attended by, i.a. Polish politicians: Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Marshal of the Senate Stanisław Karczewski and Minister of Sports and Tourism Witold Bańka. The list of participants also includes Petr Koblic, CEO of the Prague Stock Exchange, and Jorge Delgado, Portugal’s Secretary of State of Infrastructure.

This is just a fraction of attending European elites, as Economic Forum in Krynica each year attracts heads of states and governments, ministers, parliamentary members, business leaders and experts of the third sector. It is estimated that the 29^th edition of the Forum will involve almost 5,000 delegates from Europe, Central Asia and the U.S.
