The speakers are experts in trade and international cooperation. The aim of the discussion is to identify the sources of competitiveness of the economies of the Central and Eastern European Region and to outline a vision of further, unhindered development and economic cooperation in the region.

Over the past decades, the high economic competitiveness of the countries of the Three Seas region has been seen in the access to cheap labor and a relatively low level of taxation. This truism is deeply rooted in the minds of many people. However, the world does not stand still, and factors such as war, pandemic, migration and demographic crisis, or technological transformation of the industry clearly show that we should redefine such statements.

What directions of economic development should we pay particular attention to in the future in order to maintain its high pace and keep the region attractive to investors? How should the cooperation between the private and public sectors proceed under such conditions?

This and many other issues will be answered by an international group of experts in the field of trade and international cooperation at a discussion seminar, co-organized by Polish Investment and Trade Agency.
