From vision to execution: what Dubrovnik 2026 told us about the Three Seas’ second decade
Across two days, partners and participants as varied as Google Cloud, MOL, Synthos Green Energy, the Atlantic Council, the Association of Belarusian Business Abroad, the Japan Bank for International Cooperation and the Selena Group converged on a remarkably consistent diagnosis. The Three Seas region — over 120 million people, combined GDP rivalling the G7, growth at nearly twice the Western European rate for a decade — has cleared the narrative hurdle. What it has not yet built is the Business & Investment Hub that connects that story to the capital waiting to be deployed. This recap focuses on the substance of that diagnosis, and on what it implies for the region’s next moves.
TSBC Sessions in Dubrovnik – By Invitation Only
28–29 April 2025 | Dubrovnik, Croatia
The Three Seas Business Council is hosting a series of exclusive closed-door sessions — side events held alongside the Three Seas Initiative Summit and Business Forum in Dubrovnik.

From Potential to Execution: What STEPS 2026 Actually Proved
The Three Seas region has spent years making the case for itself. The numbers are compelling — 110 million people, a combined economy of $2.3 trillion, growing at twice the pace of Western Europe. But numbers alone do not move capital or build partnerships. What moves both is proof of execution.
STEPS 2026 was built around exactly that shift. A wide circle of business leaders, investors, and policymakers, and technology executives gathered at Airport Hotel Okęcie in Warsaw not to restate the potential — but to work through what implementation actually requires.
