Hudson Institute’s Center on Europe and Eurasia will host its third Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) Strategy Summit. Timed to coincide with the World Bank and International Monetary Fund’s spring meetings, the conference will give senior CEE and European Union officials an opportunity to discuss the business and economic climate of their region with an American audience.
The summit also aims to reinforce ties between the United States and its Eastern European allies. While this year’s discussion will once again focus on geoeconomics, there will be an added emphasis on the importance of financing defense investment. Ambassador Nikki Haley, Hudson Institute’s Walter P. Stern Chair, will give the keynote address.
Hudson thanks the Czech PPF Group for making this summit possible.
