About The Symposium
The Price of War Symposium, organised by the CERGE-EI Foundation, is an annual gathering of investors, business leaders, senior policymakers and diplomats, academics, and security practitioners focussed on the intersection of economic security and democratic resilience.
The symposium is grounded in the mission of the CERGE-EI Foundation - strengthening economic institutions and human capital across Central and Eastern Europe, and supporting the regions’ relationship with its international allies and partners.
This year’s symposium will explore a defining geopolitical question: not just whether we are resilient, but who our allies are and what commitments we owe them. As traditional alliances such as NATO, Five Eyes, and the US and Europe transatlantic partnership face growing strain, new public and private coalitions are emerging around industrial capacity, supply chains, critical infrastructure, space and orbital infrastructure, and strategic investment.
