Invitation GLOBSEC Forum

Ivan Bartoš Deputy Prime Minister for Digitalisation and Minister of Regional Development of the Czech Republic Prague, 10 July 2024 Your Excellency, It is my great pleasure to invite you to the 19th edition of the GLOBSEC Forum that will take place from 30th August to 1st September 2024 in Prague. This year’s edition coincides with 20 and 25 anniversaries of CEE countries’ membership in the NATO and the EU. As Ukraine continues its fight against the Russian aggressor, the level of geopolitical instability is on the rise globally. Unprecedented bloodshed led to escalating conflicts in the Middle East, further eroding security in the region. The forthcoming elections on both sides of the Atlantic and increasing dominance of geoeconomics and technology in the international relations are adding to the complexity of today’s geopolitical landscape. In a view of new legislation period in EU, discussion on the future of the EU digital agenda is needed. GLOBSEC Forum 2024 is surely the right place where we can discuss how to respond to current challenges, and overcome global fragility and how to work together towards the future of EU digital agenda. I sincerely hope that your busy schedule will allow you to accept my invitation as your presence would undoubtedly enrich those debates. PhDr. Ivan Digitálně podepsal PhDr. Ivan Bartoš, Sincerely yours, Bartoš, Ph.D. Datum: 2024.07.10 Ph.D. 13:42:41 +02'00' His Excellency Mr. Tiit Riisalo Minister of Economic Affairs and Information Technology of the Republic of Estonia
