Conference “Strong Business. Strong Regions. Innovations for entrepreneurs” on 21 May in Lublin

On 21 May 2026, at the Mercure Hotel in Lublin (12 Aleje Racławickie), the conference “Strong Business. Strong Regions. Innovations for entrepreneurs” will be held as part of a nationwide series of meetings dedicated to practical tools supporting company growth. The event is addressed to entrepreneurs from the region who are looking for concrete solutions in the areas of investment financing, implementation of innovations, the use of artificial intelligence and cooperation with business environment institutions.

Opening of the conference

The conference will be opened by Piotr Kamiński, Vice-President of the Management Board for Finance of Employers of Poland, and Marcin Kusiak, President of Employers of the Lublin Region, who will emphasise the importance of cooperation between institutions and business organisations for building strong, competitive regions. Afterwards, participants will take part in an intensive substantive block including presentations on new technologies, financing instruments and the offer of key business support institutions.

Programme and topics of the conference

The meeting is scheduled from 9:00 to 15:00 and will include both expert presentations and time for networking. Entrepreneurs will be able to learn, among other things, about the practical use of AI in enterprises (in two sessions led by a representative of CampusAI), the current offer of the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development for companies under the European Funds for a Modern Economy (FENG) programme, issues related to “Strong companies. Strong regions” presented in cooperation with PKO BP S.A., the ELENA project implemented by the Regional Development Agency in Starachowice, the offer of EU loans for enterprises presented by Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, as well as the ways in which the National Centre for Research and Development supports innovation and business growth. One of the important items will also be a presentation on the Poland Investment Zone (Polska Strefa Inwestycji), delivered by Mariusz Mądry from the EURO-PARK MIELEC Special Economic Zone.

Discussion panel and networking

W drugiej części wydarzenia zaplanowano panel dyskusyjny „Jak efektywnie wspierać rozwój przedsiębiorstw”, moderowany przez Piotr Kamińskiego, Wiceprezesa Zarządu ds. finansowych Pracodawców RP. Konferencję zamkną wystąpienia poświęcone praktycznym aspektom stosowania AI w firmach oraz lunch networkingowy z indywidualnymi rozmowami przy stolikach eksperckich partnerów.

Practical value for entrepreneurs

The organisers emphasise that, alongside the substantive part, an equally important element of the meeting will be the opportunity for direct discussions with experts from institutions involved in entrepreneurship development. During coffee breaks and the networking lunch, entrepreneurs will be able to consult their investment plans, research and development projects and financing needs with representatives of, among others, PARP, BGK, NCBR, PKO BP and regional institutions. Thanks to this formula, the conference in Lublin is intended not only to be a source of knowledge about available programmes and tools, but also a place for building relationships and seeking partnerships that support company growth and strengthen the region’s economic potential.
