Poland and other European countries face the challenge of managing fundamental changes in geopolitics, with major consequences for the economy and domestic politics. In the face of threats to economic and physical security from hostile actors and climate change, they need to make investments in resilience and defence. How to finance these investments and ensure that they deliver over the longer term? How to gain strategic autonomy not only in defence, but also digital sovereignty? What will be Poland’s strengths as a security provider and dynamic economy in the EU single market? At this event, we will tackle these questions through two thematic sessions: one on security and resilience and the other on a forward-looking assessment of competitiveness in Poland.

In the frame of Bruegel's 20th Anniversary celebrations we are organising a series of events in our members states, to bring important European conversations to the capitals and hear views from national policy makers and experts on potential challenges and solutions.
