European Forum for New Ideas

The European Forum for New Ideas (EFNI) is one of the largest international conferences in Central Europe. Organised since 2011, the Forum aims to develop ideas for a strong Europe and a competitive economy that is open to civilisational and technological trends.

Each year, EFNI serves as a platform for dialogue and the exchange of ideas among more than two hundred panellists from around the world and over a thousand Polish and international leaders representing business, politics, education, culture, and the media. Over the years, the Forum has hosted many distinguished figures, including Benjamin Barber, Zygmunt Bauman, Zbigniew Brzeziński, Norman Davies, George Friedman, Mikhail Gorbachev, Vytautas Landsbergis, Bernard-Henri Lévy, Mario Monti, Dani Rodrik, Herman Van Rompuy, Jeffrey Sachs, Frans Timmermans, Günter Verheugen, and Oliver E. Williamson.
