The Center for Development Strategies, in cooperation with the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland, is organizing one of this fall’s most important economic events: the Polish-American Economic Summit, which will take place on September 21, 2026, in New York City during the annual session of the UN General Assembly.
In light of Poland joining the G20 and amidst rapidly evolving geopolitical challenges, the Polish-American Economic Summit will serve as a key platform for strengthening Polish-American economic cooperation, promoting domestic business, and attracting US capital to Poland. It also offers a unique opportunity to deepen ties with the Polish-American community.
The event, held under the Honorary Patronage of President of the Republic of Poland Karol Nawrocki, will bring together over 100 participants alongside representatives from leading Polish and American companies. The conference will open with a special address by President of Poland Karol Nawrocki. The agenda features panel discussions focused on four strategic areas: Polish-American economic cooperation, new technologies and innovation, energy, and security and defense. The conference will conclude with an official state decorations ceremony.
The Polish-American Economic Summit is an integral part of the inaugural mission under the Presidential Business Boarding program. This is a new, recurring initiative by the President of the Republic of Poland aimed at Polish companies with strong export potential looking to expand their business in foreign markets.
Qualified entrepreneurs will receive complimentary air transportation aboard the presidential aircraft on the Warsaw–New York–Warsaw route (scheduled for September 18–24, 2026) as well as local ground transportation. This presents a unique opportunity for direct networking with foreign partners!
