As geopolitical turmoil shakes Central and Eastern Europe, the Three Seas Initiative can play a critical role in stabilizing the region and promoting European connectivity. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, the Europe Center and Polish Development Bank BGK organized a series of panels discussing how the Three Seas Initiative can drive transportation, energy, and digital infrastructure development, attract foreign investment, and support Ukraine during and after Russia’s invasion to strengthen regional security and the Western alliance.
