Wroclaw Global Forum – 2015 Edition

Wroclaw | 11–13 June 2015

From 11 to 13 June, Mr Petru Schipor attended the Wroclaw Global Forum, a prestigious gathering then in its fourth edition. Ekkou VP also had the honour of serving as a Bronze Sponsor of the 2015 event.

The Wroclaw Global Forum is Poland's leading transatlantic conference, bringing together prominent opinion leaders and entrepreneurs for discussions centred on the core values of the transatlantic community: democracy, prosperity and security. The Forum highlights the political and economic achievements of Central Europe's transition, the region's strong ties with Germany and other European leaders, and Poland's growing influence within the transatlantic partnership and on the global stage. Bringing together more than 400 government leaders, senior private-sector representatives, members of the media and civil society, the Forum serves as an influential platform for ideas and dialogue at both regional and global levels.

The Wroclaw Global Forum is organised by the Atlantic Council in partnership with the Polish Institute of International Affairs and the City of Wrocław. More than 20 ministers and heads of state have shared their perspectives at the Forum, alongside numerous prominent business leaders.

Distinguished speakers at previous editions of the Forum have included Polish President Bronisław Komorowski; US Senators John McCain and Christopher Murphy; Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence Tomasz Siemoniak; former Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski; US Deputy Secretary of State Thomas R. Nides; NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) Admiral James Stavridis; former Polish President Lech Wałęsa; former US National Security Advisors Stephen J. Hadley and General James Jones; European Commissioner for Trade Karel De Gucht; and Airbus Group CEO Thomas Enders. The extensive media coverage and social media engagement generated by the event ensure that the issues discussed in Wroclaw reach a significant audience at both regional and international levels.
