Europe after a wave of green enthusiasm. How to find the right balance between climate, the economy, and competitiveness?

30 September 2026 • 09:00 - 10:45 • Ballroom C
Online broadcast session Session translated simultaneously EN / PL

Thematic scope

The energy transition has entered the stage of economic and political verification. Simultaneously, Europe is facing a rising regulatory burden, stiff competition from the US and China, and the urgent need to safeguard its economic security. How can it reconcile its environmental goals with the protection of industry and investments? How has the approach of business to the Green New Deal changed? The opening session will be devoted to a new model of transition – a more pragmatic one, based on economic resilience, safety, and current possibilities of introducing changes.
