Health Protection as Europe's Competitive Advantage at Economic Forum

The upcoming XXXV Economic Forum in Karpacz, Poland, will place health protection at the forefront, examining its role as a critical competitive advantage for Europe. Scheduled to begin on Tuesday, September 8th, the forum will delve into the multifaceted nature of sustainable healthcare development.

This sustainability extends beyond environmental concerns, encompassing the capacity of European health systems to maintain high clinical effectiveness, financial stability, and equitable access to innovations. A key question for Poland, Central-Eastern Europe, and the entire European Union is how to leverage sustainable development to boost competitiveness.

Strategies to be discussed include improving public health, creating more efficient care pathways, better utilizing innovations, enhancing preventative measures, and constructing more resilient models for healthcare delivery and supply chains. The panel "Health, Prosperity, and Resilience: Sustainable Development as Europe's Competitive Advantage" will be moderated by Tomasz Kluszczyński, director at ACESO Healthcare Consulting.

Participants include Andrea Bonetti from Chiesi, Gergely Meszaros from the European Lung Foundation, Martin Smatana from Globsec, Vaclav Platenik, a member of the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic, and Bertalan Németh from Syreon Research Institute. The forum, running from September 8-10, 2026, will also feature the presentation of the "SGH and Economic Forum Report 2026," a comprehensive study on the state of the economy in Poland and Central and Eastern European countries.
