EEC Trends is a series of debates on the prospects and development directions of the Polish economy with the participation of partners and participants of the European Economic Congress.

“Currently, we are all at the epicentre of great change. During this year’s edition of EEC Trends, we will recognise at what stage of change the functioning economy is. Among the best experts, we will look at the changes that will shape social, economic, and business processes in the near future. The topics to be tackled during EEC Trends will become the basis for the culminating debate – the 15th European Economic Congress,”
Wojciech Kuśpik, President of PTWP Group says.

The opening session of the event will close with an attempt to answer the question ” How could the pressure of external factors be utilized in accelerating changes in the Polish economy?”.
