One of the most significant events in Central and Eastern Europe – Impact’25 – is currently taking place at Poznań Congress Center and the MTP Poznań Expo. For two days, Poznań is hosting leaders from the worlds of global business, politics, science, and new technologies, all coming together to seek answers to the key questions shaping our future.

The event was officially opened by representatives of the government, academia, and the business world. Among the speakers are renowned figures such as Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States, Francis Fukuyama, American political scientist and international relations scholar, and Timothy Snyder, historian and professor at Yale University. These are just a few of the names attracting participants from across the globe.

Impact’25 features over 600 speakers, 10 thematic stages, and hundreds of discussions on today’s most pressing challenges: artificial intelligence, energy transformation, cybersecurity, public health, and leadership.

During the congress, the Poznań Event Hub brand was officially launched – a new initiative by Grupa MTP aimed at strengthening Poznań’s position as an international hub for business, academic, and cultural events.

– "Poznań Event Hub will become a leader in the European meetings industry and a flagship brand promoting Poland as a country of world-class, modern events," emphasized Tomasz Kobierski, CEO of Grupa MTP, during the press conference inaugurating the new brand.

Impact’25 is a prime example of the type of event that confirms Poznań’s potential as a host city for high-level international congresses and meetings. With modern infrastructure, experience, and strategic location, Poznań Event Hub is set to attract more prestigious events, such as the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) and the ICCA Central European Chapter Meeting.
