Retaining talent in the east

14:00- 15:00, Sala wystawiennicza

A region is truly resilient when people genuinely want to live, work, raise families, and develop their ideas there. Therefore, the “Right to Stay”, the right to remain and thrive in one’s home region, is not merely a demographic issue; it is directly tied to the economy, public services, quality of life, and security.

Key Topics:

  • What motivates residents to stay, and what encourages those who left to consider returning?
  • How to generate high-quality jobs, accessible housing, and attractive career development opportunities?
  • How to attract vital specialists in healthcare, technology, energy, and other critical sectors?
  • How can education, vocational training (VET), entrepreneurship, and social inclusion strengthen local communities[?

Why Attend?

  • Tailored for employers, universities, local governments, NGOs, and anyone invested in providing residents with a real choice: to stay, grow, and thrive in their region.
