1 1-3 OCTOBER 2014 EUROPEAN FORUM FOR NEW IDEAS BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE

2 SOPOT 1 3 OCTOBER Innovation the most desirable quality of modern economies starts with creative questions. At EFNI we try to ask them. Not just in the sphere of economics, for business is not a lonely island. We are operating in a dynamically changing society, in the reality which abounds with black swans unexpected phenomena with unforeseeable consequences. Therefore we must free our imagination and think in comprehensive terms. We try to do this at EFNI. We discuss social trends, paths of market development, ideas that shape the future of European integration, changes taking place in the economy and regulations that apply to it. Business should not only influence these changes, but anticipate and shape them. This is the reason why we meet at EFNI.
