A trusted forum for senior leaders shaping strategy across Central and Eastern Europe
The wiiw Executive Network connects senior executives from leading international and regional companies operating across CEE. Built on wiiw’s independent economic and proprietary survey research, it offers a confidential setting to exchange experience, test assumptions, and benchmark strategic choices with peers across the CEE region and multiple industry sectors.
Executive Network meetings are held regularly in Warsaw, Vienna, and Prague, combining research briefings with structured peer discussion, supported by digital content throughout the year.
