Who We Are
We are building a powerful network of leaders, experts, and organizations dedicated to elevating the CEE region to a new level of economic growth and business innovation.
Our ambition is to shape a Central European perspective on Europe’s development—rooted in innovation, advanced industries, and equitable partnerships between CEE and Western Europe.
Join us to make a real impact and help shift Europe’s focus from trying to understand how — so together, we can turn ambition into action.
Our Mission
We act as a voice for experts and business leaders, shaping Europe’s future through innovation and advanced industries.
We unite individuals and organizations committed to economic growth in CEE and across Europe, turning plans into action.
Recognizing security as a foundation for Europe’s economic progress, we drive cooperation between business and the public sphere to foster development in defense and dual-use technologies.
As an economic think tank, we share expert knowledge and publish authoritative research to advance Europe’s economic leadership.
