OPEN EYES ECONOMY SUMMIT 2024
Open Eyes Economy Summit 2024 Summary
Europe is facing existential threats that it has not felt for the past few decades. Today, the stakes are whether Europe will survive as a model of life," Jerzy Hausner summed up the 9th edition of the Open Eyes Economy Summit. For the ninth time, the OEES has become a space for exchanging observations on current economic, political and social issues. We have two days of exceptional meetings, discussions and inspirations behind us. We were joined by politicians, economists, local government officials, managers with many years of experience, as well as representatives of organisations and enterprises who share the issues of the challenges of contemporary Europe.
