Congress with the Honorary Patronage of the Polish President- join us!

07 February 2025

We are pleased to announce that our event has again received the Honorary Patronage of the President of the Republic of Poland, Andrzej Duda.

This is a great honour for us, but also a motivation for further action. Mr President, as one of the founders of the Three Seas Initiatives and the patron of the 3Seas Congress since its first edition, has consistently supported all activities undertaken as part of this initiative. Therefore, in view of the Polish Presidency of the Three Seas Initiative, which lasts until April 2025, we count on the presence of the Head of State, as was the case in previous years.

Last year’s fourth edition attracted more than 900 participants, 180 speakers leading interesting and varied discussions and numerous foreign delegations from 20 Central European regions. This year’s Congress will feature inspiring discussions and interesting topics, including investments in infrastructure and the development of transport connections, led by the flagship Via Carpatia project, energy security, cybersecurity, digital transformation and regional integration. The program includes the promotion of cultural heritage, including a discussion on cooperation between open-air museums, which can be an excellent opportunity to cultivate one’s own tradition and discover the role of culture in building bonds between nations.

An important point for entrepreneurs will be the Economic Forum, a place to discuss energy transition, investment or innovation. The Forum will include conferences and seminars: Feminine Lubelskie, AI – artificial intelligence, Lubelskie SMEs on the global market, World Expo 2025 Osaka, as well as a B2B Zone for entrepreneurs and an exhibition zone.

Registration for the Congress is open now – more information is coming soon!

Polish President Karol Nawrocki emphasized in Davos the strategic importance of the Three Seas Initiative as a key platform for infrastructural, economic, and geopolitical cooperation in Central and Eastern Europe. The opening speech of the panel „Three Seas Initiative: geostrategic business opportunities – a bridge to the future – from the Adriatic, the Baltic, the Black Sea to Asia” took place as part of the Leaders Forum powered by Poland during the World Economic Forum in Davos. Former polish president Andrzej Duda participated as well.

President Nawrocki noted that over the course of a decade the Three Seas Initiative has evolved from a political concept into a mature cooperation mechanism that has tangible impact on the regional development.

“Ten years ago, the Three Seas Initiative began as an idea. Up until today it has evolved into a strategic framework for regional transformation, and alliance of innovation and infrastructure, and a symbol of Central and South-Eastern Europe’s maturity and confidence on the world stage” – told the President.

In his address the President also emphasized the strong transatlantic anchoring of the Three Seas Initiative. He stressed that from the very beginning, the Initiative was conceived as an open project, strengthening cooperation between the European Union and partners outside Europe, particularly the United States. In this context, the Three Seas Initiative was presented as a “bridge” connecting a dynamically developing region with global capital, technology, and markets.

” The Three Seas Initiative has never been an inward-looking project (…) it has been strategically anchored in the transatlantic partnership that unites Europe and North America”.

The President drew attention to the geostrategic dimension of cooperation within the Three Seas region in the face of global challenges such as geopolitical instability, pressure on supply chains, and competition for resources. He pointed out that the development of modern infrastructure and the deepening of economic cooperation constitute the foundation of security and long-term growth.

The speech also had a strong economic dimension. The President of Poland underlined Poland’s ambitions to strengthen its position in the global economy and its aspirations to join the G20, highlighting the growing role of the Three Seas region as one of the engines of growth in Europe. At the same time, he invited international investors to actively participate in projects implemented under the framework of the Initiative.

During the World Economic Forum in Davos, President Karol Nawrocki also met with President of the United States Donald Trump. The main topics of their talks were security and economic issues.
