The European Forum for New Ideas is one of the largest conferences in this part of the continent, dedicated to global trends, new ideas and the future of Europe. During dozens of events, panels, open meetings, counterpoints or night talks business representatives, charismatic speakers, leaders and decision-makers, as well as authorities from the world of culture and science debate about the most important challenges for business and societies in a changing world, global trends and the future shape of the Union.
We want to find out how the AI revolution will affect the innovation of companies, the labour market, the competences of the future and therefore also education. This challenge does not push away urgent issues such as the green transition, Poland's participation in the reconstruction of Ukraine or building a competitive Polish economy, but it does complicate the picture. In the Polish reality, this is compounded by a political context, legal chaos, lack of transparency, when entrepreneurs have to pass a test of resourcefulness and mental toughness
鈥� says Dr Henryka Bochniarz, Chairwoman of the Main Council, Confederation Lewiatan
Each year, the Forum gathers more than a thousand participants 鈥� representatives of business, science, culture and both Polish and European administrations. The European Forum for New Ideas has been organised since 2011 by the Confederation Lewiatan in partnership with BusinessEurope and the City of Sopot.
