Between two Donalds: How will Poland fare with Trump 2.0?
We are pleased to invite you to the latest EXANTE Horizon event, held at the historic Palace on the Isle in Łazienki Królewski. This is the exact location where the last King of Poland, Stanisław August Poniatowski, hosted his elite Thursday dinners.
In homage to this tradition, we have convened leading experts from the international financial sector. They will explore how investors may navigate uncertainty, manage risks, and seize investment opportunities in 2025 and beyond.

About the Event
EXANTE Horizon is designed for management from the finance and investment sectors, as well as our distinguished clients.
The event will commence with a panel discussion where global institutional investors will analyse the shifting dynamics in Europe and worldwide geopolitical shifts, including the repercussions of Trump's second term and the upcoming 2025 presidential elections in Poland on the financial markets.
Following the discussion, we invite attendees to engage in further conversations in the historical setting of the venue, complemented by fine wine and gourmet hors d'oeuvres.
The event will be conducted in English, with simultaneous Polish translation available.
Within the EXANTE Horizon series, we invite seasoned international market analysts to share their insights on emerging trends and future forecasts.
Our events are hosted across major global financial hubs and in rapidly developing financial centres.
