Between two Donalds: How will Poland fare with Trump 2.0?
We are pleased to invite you to the latest EXANTE Horizon event, held at the historic Palace on the Isle in Łazienki Królewski. This is the exact location where the last King of Poland, Stanisław August Poniatowski, hosted his elite Thursday dinners.
In homage to this tradition, we have convened leading experts from the international financial sector. They will explore how investors may navigate uncertainty, manage risks, and seize investment opportunities in 2025 and beyond.
The Horizon Panel
HeadArnab Das, PhD
About the Event
EXANTE Horizon is designed for management from the finance and investment sectors, as well as our distinguished clients.
The event will commence with a panel discussion where global institutional investors will analyse the shifting dynamics in Europe and worldwide geopolitical shifts, including the repercussions of Trump's second term and the upcoming 2025 presidential elections in Poland on the financial markets.
Following the discussion, we invite attendees to engage in further conversations in the historical setting of the venue, complemented by fine wine and gourmet hors d'oeuvres.
The event will be conducted in English, with simultaneous Polish translation available.
Venue
Continuing our Horizon programme series, we are proud to be in Warsaw, Poland at the historic "Łazienki" palace (The Palace on the Isle). This classicist gem in Warsaw's Royal Baths Park was originally a Baroque bath-house commissioned by Prince Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski in 1674, featuring rich decorations. It was rebuilt into a neoclassical Palace on the Isle by King Stanisław August at the end of the 18th century. With our latest Horizon event, we are honouring its rich history of afternoon banquets which provided an arena for the open exchange of ideas for Polish writers, scientists and intellectuals. The movers and shakers of the day gathered here at the invitation of the King to discuss and debate the most topical issues affecting the country and the world.
