Politics and security
The dynamics of political relations in recent months shows the necessity of cooperation, especially in the wake of external threats and an attempt to appropriate the potential and territory of individual countries. The Three Seas idea became the foundation of mutual feeling security.
Economy
Strengthening the potentials of the Three Seas countries through the synergy of individual industries, strengthening common capital markets, as well as the role and importance of the economic potential of the Three Seas Initiative are challenges facing Poland and its partners. Joint economic initiatives, preceded by analyzes of the needs and directions of development, will allow for faster catching up with highly developed countries.
Agriculture and food
In the era of climate change, agriculture, and especially a concern for the development of ecological agricultural production is another area of challenges and opportunities facing Poland and the Three Seas countries. The observed changes will cause developments in the cultivation and breeding model, and this will affect many aspects of agriculture, from the culture of agricultural production, through changes related to the development of new cultivation methods, to food processing and distribution.
Technology
The development of Web3, metaverse, 5G and next-generation technologies, database centers, open data, open software, cybersecurity are just some of the issues related to the next wave of the digital revolution. Many of the Three Seas countries show a very high level of development in these industries. Poland is one of the leaders in electronic banking - many Polish solutions have become a sector standard, which shows the potential of the domestic IT industry. However, technological development never stops and the task of the Three Seas countries is to constantly search for new solutions that would give another development impulse and strengthen the innovation of their own companies.
Logistics and transport
Road, rail, air and water connections, logistics centers, transport automation are the obvious directions of the economic integration of the Three Seas countries. Via Carpatia and Rail Baltica are obvious examples of the necessary investments in the process of developing economic and political relations.
Power engineering
The development of green technologies, nuclear energy, consolidation in the energy industry, energy security of the Three Seas region are priority areas that guarantee the energy security of the region. The dynamics of turbulences on the energy market leaves no doubt about the further direction of development and the need for mutual cooperation in securing the supply of cheap and ecological energy.
Ecology
Green order, circular economy and low-energy construction are just some of the elements that are of interest to all members of the Three Seas Initiative. Climate challenges, as well as goals related to environmental protection urge to switch the economy to a more climate-friendly solution, and above all, serve the inhabitants of the Three Seas countries.
Social challenges
Demographic problems, challenges for the labor market, internal immigration of the Three Seas Initiative, education in a changing world, universal bilingualism are some of the social challenges facing Poland and the countries of the region. Global processes related to emigration and demography will affect competition between individual economies for qualified employees. This process will directly determine the chances of further dynamic development of the economy.
Science
Joint R&D projects, research specialization in the Three Seas countries, scientific and student exchange are the driving force of further development. Only the intensification of scientific research, the search for synergies between individual countries, as well as the efficient process of absorption of these solutions by the economy will allow Three Seas countries to catch up with the constantly developing Western economies.
Culture
The mosaic of the Three Seas countries forms one of the culturally richest areas in Europe. The variety of the region is visible in all areas of culture and art. Mutually sharing the heritage of the countries and peoples of the region is a prerequisite for a full understanding of the values of history and culture. The current state of cultural exchange is largely insufficient. There is a need to improve it through a series of initiatives aimed at getting to know each other better.
Health
The challenges of the last 3 years show to what extent the health care system and its efficient operation can affect the functioning of the economy and supply chains. The need for isolation and border blockades contributed to the suspension or abandonment of many important initiatives. The search for solutions that protect citizens and strengthen the economic potential, will become another goal of health care development.
