Civil Society for Geostrategic Central Europe

Central Europe faces a shared capital allocation gap: climate risks are accelerating while the region is failing to access the EU funding instruments built to address them. Geostrategic Central Europe project brings together policymakers, financial institutions, industry leaders and civil society from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland to close that gap.

Through four structured hybrid Situation Rooms — on capital allocation, energy transition, industrial competitiveness and climate risk — the project turns expert debate into decision-ready guidance. Each session produces a two-page impulse paper; a final report with country-by-country deep dives ties the findings together for policymakers and investors across the region.

Delivered by ISFC with Business & Science Poland, SAPI (Slovakia) and HuSIF (Hungary), and supported by the International Visegrad Fund.
