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!

The 6th edition of the Three Seas Local Government Congress will take place May 27-28, 2026, in Lublin. It is a forum that brings together the visions, experience, and potential of the Central and Eastern European countries.

The Three Seas Local Government Congress is a prestigious international event organised by the Lubelskie Voivodeship. The Congress serves as a platform for cooperation among 13 countries of the Three Seas Initiative and associated members (Ukraine, Moldova, Albania, and Montenegro), focusing on infrastructure development, security, innovation, and cross-border cooperation. Over the past five editions, the Congress has gathered more than 5000 participants from over 25 countries, including representatives of governments, local and regional authorities, business, and academia. The event is held under the Honorary Patronage of the President of the Republic of Poland. Representatives of more than 350 regions from the Three Seas Initiative are invited to attend the Congress. It is a multidimensional event. Its accompanying activities include the Economic Forum, a scientific session of the Three Seas Universities Network, and the 3Seas Youth Forum. The upcoming edition of the Congress will be expanded to include a Security Forum addressed to local governments from the Three Seas region.

The Economic Forum comprehensively supports the offer of SMEs from the Lubelskie Voivodeship. Its aim is to create conditions for the development of entrepreneurship and investor services, as well as to build lasting economic relationships and facilitate the exchange of experience and inspiration in the field of the economy. Topics addressed during the Forum will include, among others: Feminine Lubelskie, Innovation, entrepreneurship (B2B Zone / Exhibition Zone), the 20th anniversary of Marka Lubelskie, and international cooperation. The Economic Forum is a unique platform for networking, signing agreements, and presenting technologies and solutions that create real opportunities for regional economic cooperation in times of global tension.

The Security Forum is a key accompanying event of the Three Seas Local Government Congress, dedicated to challenges and opportunities in the broadly understood field of security for regions involved in the Network of the Three Seas Regions project. At its core is the exchange of experience and the building of cooperation among local governments, organizations, experts, and business representatives from the 13 countries of the Three Seas Initiative. Topics discussed during the Forum will include, among others: local resilience, health and social security, protection of critical infrastructure, cybersecurity, and the role of local governments in crisis response. The co-organiser of the Security Forum is Defence24.

We cordially invite you to take part in the Congress!
