History is accelerating, and the volatility of the world and the environment in which we live is becoming increasingly intense. What was a foundation yesterday is now called into question. Poland’s current development model is gradually becoming exhausted—there is a pressing need to establish new social and political consensuses to ensure prosperity and security.
Currently, the lack of continuity in critical areas of the country’s development poses a significant threat. In the past, consensus on joining the European Union enabled economic growth. Now, a similar agreement is needed for Poland to effectively compete on the international stage.
Term-based shifts in concepts within areas critical to Poland’s survival and maintaining its competitiveness are the primary factor behind the lack of development. The lack of continuity has become a tangible threat.
This need is even more fundamental than it was 30 years ago. This need is even more fundamental than it was 30 years ago. At that time, the consensus on joining the European Union facilitated economic growth. Now, a similar agreement is required for Poland to effectively compete on the international stage.
We recognize and highlight both the challenges and opportunities arising from our geopolitical position. Countries like Singapore and Finland, often described as “sitting on a powder keg,” have managed to thrive despite challenging conditions, building their success on compromise and policy continuity.
We see the greatest chance for Poland’s development in the culture of political compromise. As a society, we have matured to perceive politics as the need for cooperation and implementation of key reforms, regardless of changes in government. Our goal is to designate key areas for development and create a culture of cooperation.
We strive to define strategic areas essential for Poland’s development and to build a culture of multilateral cooperation in setting and achieving goals within these areas. Through this approach, we broaden the circle of individuals aware of the real opportunities and threats.
Through analysis, dialogue, and the engagement of diverse groups, we work on projects that have a tangible impact on the future of Poland and its citizens. Our aim is to define Poland’s raison d’état and develop programs that will be implemented regardless of political changes.
