Gürkan Akçaer, known for his expertise in civil society and digital transformation, has been invited as a speaker to the XXIV Economic Forum, which will take place in Karpacz, Poland, on 2–4 September 2025.
Organized by the Foundation Institute for Eastern Studies, the Forum has been the largest international conference in Central and Eastern Europe for more than 30 years. Each year it brings together over 6,000 political, economic, and civil society leaders from around the world, fostering dialogue on key regional and global challenges.
Akçaer will join the discussion panel titled “NGOs in the Digital Age: How Are Technologies Changing the Way They Work?”. The panel will explore how NGOs across Europe are using digital tools to increase their effectiveness and reach, while also addressing challenges such as data management, privacy protection, and online security.
The Economic Forum is widely followed by international media, with its debates and declarations resonating in political and expert circles long after the event ends. Akçaer’s participation is expected to contribute valuable insights into the digitalization of civil society.
