In the first part of the meeting, professor talked about current state of Polish and European economy, he analysed factors shaping them and gave his prognosis in future shaping of Polish economy and budget. This part could be summed up shortly - optymism is rare these days!

 A slightly more optimistic part concerned evaluation of the potential of Polish people: our speaker presented thesis of the Report on the Innovation of Polish Economy, although it didn't lack strong judgements as well.

Conclusions of the report were very interesting, intriguing and inspiring for many of the participants.
