The European Economic Forum has been organised periodically for several years by the Łódzkie Region in Poland and has become a fixture in the calendar of the most prominent business events in the country.

The Forum provides a platform for entrepreneurs – mainly small- and medium-sized companies – to share their experiences. The event covers various business topics such as entrepreneurship, logistics, transport, new technologies, research, and innovation. The European Economic Forum is an open discussion moderated by professionals encouraging engagement and expression of observations and opinions.

The inauguration session of the Forum this year will be hosted by the Marshal of Łódzkie region in Poland, ECR Member Grzegorz Schreiber, and will be organised in partnership with the ECR Group in the CoR.

The session will be devoted to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on European regions.  

​ECR speakers include President Władysław Ortyl (Marshal of Podkarpackie region),
Mr Roberto Ciambetti (President of Veneto Regional Council), Ms Daniela Ballico (Mayor of Ciampino) and Mr Juraj Droba (President of Bratislava Self-Governing region).

The Forum will take place on 2 December 2020 in an entirely virtual format. More information, including on registration, can be found here.
