They will talk about leadership

Each year the Economic Forum discusses topics such as local government, ecology, territorial development, medicine or new technologies. This time the conference will be held under the slogan “Time for new leaders: shaping the future together.”

The new leaders we have in the title of this year's forum are the people creating this new reality related to artificial intelligence.

We are extremely proud that as Wroclaw, we are once again a partner of this event. We are going to talk about something extremely important, namely the new model of leadership, something that in Wroclaw and Lower Silesia is reflected in many activities.

There will be no shortage of investment offers

In turn, the Wroclaw Agglomeration Development Agency will traditionally enrich the Lower Silesia Zone with a complete and professional investment offer.

We also want to show the part of our business ecosystem that distinguishes Wroclaw, namely innovation. At the booth of the capital of Lower Silesia we will present technological solutions, created in the region. We have also included a broad startup representation in the forum.
