26th Economic Forum in Krynica saw over 3 000 participants from over 50 countries exchange their views on the current political, economic and social situation across the world. The theme of this year's conference was ‘Europe facing challenges - united or divided?’.

Andrzej Nowakowski, Director of the Cooperative Banks Division:Our main goal was to show the Forum participants what our new solution –the  Asseco Customer Banking Platform (Asseco CBP), which has so far been made available to customers of 50 cooperative banks – is capable of. That’s why we organized a competition where the participants, using the demo version of the solution, could try out the system and familiarize themselves with its main functions and miniapplications.

Prizes were drawn among those banks’ representatives who gave correct answers to the quiz questions and opened a virtual term deposit using the Asseco CBP.This conference is the single largest annual meeting of cooperative banks in Poland. This year's edition was attended by presidents and members of the boards of cooperative banks, representatives of central and local government, the parliament, financial and banking institutions, including the President of the Polish Bank Association - Krzysztof Pietraszkiewicz and the President of the Polish National Bank - prof. Dr hab. Adam Glapiński.

This event, partnered by Asseco, is organized by the Polish Bank Association together with associating banks: BPS S.A. and SGB-Bank S.A.

Andrzej Sobolewski, Sales Specialist at Asseco Poland: Our stand was very popular. We met with business people and with representatives from Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Polish Border Guard, special purpose units, military schools, and regional administration. They were primarily interested in the issue of purchasing IT systems by the Ministry of Defence, and the possibility to cooperate with us and participate in international projects.
