The 26th Krynica Economic Forum, 2016

Krynica Economic Forum is an annual international meeting of economic and political elites held in the first half of September[1] at the ski and spa resort of Krynica-Zdrój in southern Poland . The Forum was founded by Zygmunt Berdychowski[1] in 1992 and it is organised by the Foundation Institute for Eastern Studies in Warsaw. Within 25 years of its history the Krynica Economic Forum has evolved from a small conference, with about 100 participants, to one of the biggest and most recognisable meetings of the political and business leaders of Central and Eastern Europe[2], and is therefore sometimes referred to as the "Eastern Davos".[3]

According to the organisers, the mission of the Economic Forum is to create a favorable climate for development of political and economic cooperation in Europe. The opinions of the Forum's speakers are often quoted by the international media and discussed by leading analysts.[4]
