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 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.
