We invite you to the 5th 3Seas Congress



The fifth edition of the Three Seas Local Government Congress will be held in Lublin on 12-13 March 2025. This prestigious event, initiated in 2021 in Lublin, has become a key platform for cooperation between regions from Central and Eastern Europe. The Congress brings together representatives of government and local government administration, science and business sectors from 13 Three Seas countries, such as Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia, as well as strategic partners: the European Commission, the United States of America, the Federal Republic of Germany and Japan.



Every year, the event’s programme focuses on contemporary challenges in the areas of transport, energy and digitalisation. During debates and discussions, invited guests discuss energy security, the development of the hydrogen economy, infrastructure including progress on the Via-Carpatia route, artificial intelligence or the digitalisation of society. The accompanying Economic Forum offers seminars on the green economy, innovation and the role of women in business.



During the fifth edition of the Congress, we will talk about, among other things: investments in infrastructure, led by the flagship project Via Carpatia, energy security, cyber security, digital transformation or regional integration. The event’s agenda will include regular programme points such as the Debate of the Regions, the Debate on Culture, the Economic Forum and young leaders meetings.



The President of the Republic of Poland, Andrzej Duda, emphasized at the fourth Three Seas Congress that “The Three Seas Initiative has a very specific dimension. It is primarily a space of security – not military security because we have the North Atlantic Alliance for these matters. I mean security understood in the economic and social context, which consists of transport, energy and digital infrastructure”. In 2025, Poland will host the jubilee 10th Three Seas Initiative Summit, which will be an excellent opportunity to sum up, strengthen and give new impetus to the Three Seas Initiative.



We cordially invite you to the March edition of the Congress in 2025 – a cyclical event strengthening the position of the Lubelskie Region as an important centre for international cooperation in Central Europe.
