SAVE THE DATE



The 4th edition of the 3Seas Local Government Congress and Economic Forum will be held on June 12-13, 2024 in Lublin. The three previous editions of the Congress were held under the honorary patronage of Polish President Andrzej Duda and gathered more than 3.5 thousand participants from 32 countries worldwide.



The congress is a platform for working out solutions for the development of regions located between the Baltic, Adriatic and Black Seas. It is a self-governmental response to current activities, implemented in the socio-economic area
at the state level. Discussions also concern bridging the infrastructural gaps of Central and Eastern Europe in relation to Western countries.



The Congress is rich not only in discussions, but also in the implementation of concrete projects. During last year’s edition, an international agreement was signed on the Network of the Three Seas Regions – a format for deepening inter-regional cooperation in Central Europe, the inauguration of the the Three Seas University Network (3SUN), and agreements were signed on the establishment of the Lubelskie Hydrogen Cluster and Lubelskie Cluster of Circular Economy. In addition to thematic seminars, the Economic Forum offers entrepreneurs the opportunity to exhibit at promotional booths and B2B meetings.

The Three Seas Local Government Congress under the Honorary Patronage of the President of Poland



The 6 th edition of the Three Seas Local Government Congress will be held May 27-28, 2026, under the Honorary Patronage of the President of the Republic of Poland, Karol Nawrocki. This distinction recognises the growing importance of the event, which has become a key platform for cooperation among the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, both in the economic and infrastructural dimensions.



Over five editions of the Congress (2020–2025), more than 5,000 participants from 24 countries have taken part, 104 discussion panels have been held, and 64 foreign delegations have visited Lublin. The scale and international character of the event confirm its increasing role in shaping dialogue across the Three Seas region.




We, the countries representing Central and Eastern Europe (…) through the Three Seas Initiative, Via Baltica, and Via Carpatia, share not only our voice and vision of building a civic community, but also tangible results showing that the Baltic States and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe are capable of implementing major infrastructure projects, emphasised President Karol Nawrocki during his visit to Vilnius last month.



These words perfectly capture the spirit of the Three Seas Congress, which brings together political, academic, and business communities around a shared goal, building a strong, integrated, and cooperative Central and Eastern Europe.



It is also worth noting that in April 2025, Poland hosted the 10th Three Seas Initiative Summit. During the event, participants emphasised the importance of infrastructure and economic cooperation in the region and the need to strengthen cohesion across Central and Eastern Europe. This year, the cooperation format has been expanded to include new members – Albania and Montenegro joined the Three Seas Initiative in the capacity of associated participating states, while Spain and Turkey became new strategic partners. It has already been announced that the 11th Summit will take place in Croatia in 2026.



We cordially invite you to take part in the Three Seas Local Government Congress! Registration will open in the end of January. More details will soon be available at www.congress.lubelskie.pl and on our social media channels.
