Who will pay for security and resilience?

15:30- 16:30, Sala kameralna

Security comes at a cost, yet a lack of resilience can prove far more costly. Border regions require major investments in infrastructure, energy, transport, technology, and dual-use projects. Where can this funding be secured, and how should projects be prepared to become investment-ready?

Key Topics:

  • How to combine EU funds with financing from national and international financial institutions?
  • What preferential instruments, guarantees, and grants should be made available to local governments and businesses in border regions?
  • What role could the EastInvest platform play?
  • How to structure bankable projects that are fully ready for financing and implementation?

Why Attend?

  • Tailored for local governments, entrepreneurs, investors, and institutions developing large-scale projects. A practical guide to translating resilience needs into concrete investments.

Professor Mariusz POPŁAWSKI, Rector of the University of Białystok
