Economic Forum in Krynica has become a permanent fixture in the calendar of prestigious conferences related to economy, business and international cooperation. This year will mark its already 29^th edition, which will be attended by, i.a. Polish politicians: Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Marshal of the Senate Stanisław Karczewski and Minister of Sports and Tourism Witold Bańka. The list of participants also includes Petr Koblic, CEO of the Prague Stock Exchange, and Jorge Delgado, Portugal’s Secretary of State of Infrastructure.
