The 17th edition of the TIME Economic Forum in Warsaw in March 2025 falls on a special time - the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union. As the organizers of the Forum, i.e. national chambers of commerce focused on the development of ICT technologies and tools in the economic sectors of the Polish and European economy and politics, we have a unique opportunity to confront our own achievements and intentions with the European challenges of the coming decades.

The TIME Economic Forum, born on the initiative and operating under the leadership of the National Chamber of Commerce for Electronics and Telecommunications, is a joint conference of chambers, foundations and associations as well as companies in the field of IT and telecommunications dedicated to the digital, energy, climate, financial, media and educational transformation of our society and the national economy.

The 17th edition of the Forum will be part of ICT Week, which will include two conferences on March 10-12, 2025: FGTIME on March 10 and Data Space Symposium on March 11-12 organized by the Data Spaces Support Center and Data Spaces Business Alliance ( Gaia - X the European Association for Data and Cloud AISBL , International Data Spaces Association, FIWARE Foundation and Big Data Value Association). ICT WEEK will be a meeting with extensive content, program and number of representatives of the broadly understood Polish ICT sector with representatives of similar institutions and business communities from all countries of the European community.

We are convinced that ICT WEEK will substantively support the Polish Presidency, and the positions and conclusions developed during the meetings that are important for the digital transformation of the country and Europe's economic sectors will enrich this Presidency and thus contribute to the intensification of the European economy, its competitiveness on the global market and achieving the goals of the Digital Decade and the Green Deal.

The main goal of the 17th TIME Economic Forum is to send a very specific message to representatives of the European and Polish administrations from the business world that closer and open cooperation with entrepreneurs' self-governments are new opportunities for more effective use of the innovation potential and EU resources and that this goal can only be achieved within a close and partnership framework. cooperation of these environments. Together we are stronger!
