New 'Industrial' Order
Competitiveness & Security Business Summit
New Industrial Order is a call for Europe’s renewal through innovation, ideas, and industrial transformation in the changing world. A shift from legislation to delivery, from fragmentation to scale. Decarbonisation, digitalisation, and defence integration are reshaping Europe’s industrial DNA – making innovation a system, not just a sector.

About the Summit
The Competitiveness & Security Business Summit (CSBS’26) is a leading business-driven policy event in Brussels, organised by Polish business and bringing together European policymakers and key stakeholders.
Business leaders, experts, think tanks and NGOs discuss Europe’s competitiveness, economic security and industrial transformation in a rapidly changing global environment, with a strong focus on moving from legislation to delivery.
Building on the success of previous editions, CSBS’26 strengthens the position of Polish business as a constructive partner in European policy debates.
The main theme of the event – security and competitiveness – will be the starting point for a debate divided into following sections:
Explore how imagination, science and creativity drive innovation and shape Europe’s long-term competitiveness. This session brings intellectual and cultural perspectives into the debate, highlighting the ideas behind technological progress and Europe’s New Industrial Order.
Turn decarbonisation challenges into opportunities to strengthen Europe’s industrial competitiveness, clean-tech development and raw materials autonomy. This session focuses on a holistic, value-chain approach to the green transition, addressing the tensions between climate goals, investment costs and the global competitiveness of European industry.

Unlock synergies between finance and innovation to turn Europe’s competitiveness agenda into investable growth. This session explores how capital can effectively reach infrastructure, industry and scale-ups, addressing the missing financing link between innovation and market deployment while aligning public instruments, private capital and risk allocation.
Secure Europe’s value chains and access to critical raw materials essential for a successful clean and digital transition. This session focuses on strengthening strategic autonomy and economic resilience by reducing external dependencies and ensuring reliable, sustainable supply chains beyond recycling alone.
A space where the next generation of ideas meets decision-makers. This curated innovation arena gives young founders, researchers and early-stage innovators from Central and Eastern Europe the opportunity to present bold ideas and receive direct, forward-looking feedback from senior experts across business, academia and public administration.
Beyond the Summit Experience
CSBS’26 goes beyond debates and panels. Curated exhibitions, a cultural programme and a dedicated ZEN Zone create space for inspiration, informal exchange and balance throughout the Summit. Designed to complement high-level discussions, these spaces invite participants to slow down, connect and experience the Summit in a more human, reflective way.
