Poland hosts 35th Economic Forum in Karpacz amid geopolitical uncertainty
The major international economic gathering brings together 6,000 leaders from 60+ countries to discuss supply chain security, Poland-China relations, and defense industry challenges.
The Event
Poland's largest annual policy forum convened September 8–10 in the mountain town of Karpacz, drawing government officials, business executives, academics, and policymakers from over 60 countries. The 35th Economic Forum operates under the theme "The Architecture of a New Order – Stability in Times of Change."
Key Focus Areas
- Defense Industry Supply Chains: A major report prepared by six leading Polish universities in cooperation with ministries of defence, state assets, and development presented findings on whether Poland can sustain record arms purchases while maintaining supply continuity in crisis or war scenarios.
- Polish-Chinese Economic Relations: A dedicated Polish-Chinese Forum track brought together approximately 30 panelists and 200+ participants to discuss Central Europe's economic ties with Beijing.
The forum reflects Poland's balancing act in 2026: maintaining ambitious military spending while managing economic growth and public finances. As an expat or long-term resident, the forum's conclusions on Poland's economic direction—particularly around inflation, public spending, and defense investment—may affect job markets, business opportunities, and overall economic stability in the coming years.
