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!
