📣 Global Investors Summit 2024 is about to start in Gdańsk. For the first time, during two days of panels and discussions, leaders from different sectors and countries will commemorate the past, reflect about the challenges of today and build what’s next for Poland. Our President of the Management Board Adam Marciniak will take part in the final discussion of #GIS. Together with top Polish CEOs they will elaborate on what does “the best time to value” mean and how Polish companies are participating in modernizing and building for growth. 🎤 📈 Harvard Club of Poland, Europejski Kongres Finansowy, Centrum Myśli Strategicznych 

If modernisation and innovation where merely about the deployment and use of technology alone, then oldest and richest organisations would be the most modern and innovative - That rarely the case. Amid the unprecedented pace of business change, leaders find themselves at the centre of the “paradox of choice.” While options fuel autonomy and growth, too many choices bring a creeping sense of anxiety and indecision. Today’s leaders are facing an endless menu: a flood of technologies, strategies, markets, and models—often masked in hype and whitewashing. In this context, the abundance of choice becomes an obstacle rather than an advantage, creating perpetual uncertainty. It’s not just about what to choose; it’s about how quickly leaders must decide if they want to stay relevant, and most importantly how to sequence their choices. This demands clarity, purpose, and agility over being dazzled by the latest trends. Technology isn’t the game-changer on its own; decisive, purpose-driven leadership is. The leaders who will thrive are those who embrace a clear vision, make bold choices, and act swiftly, inspiring confidence in their teams and setting a course for lasting relevance. How are you cutting through the noise and finding clarity in a world of limitless choices?

💪 Looking back at another successful Italian Investment Conference. 🌎 With 63 Issuers, more than 150 institutional investors from all over the world and +1.300 requested One-on-One Meetings, this year's edition of the Italian Investment Conference once again set standards as the leading equity conferences in Italy - co-hosted by UniCredit and Kepler Cheuvreux. 📅 The event enabled great conversations and intensive exchanges with both our clients and the Investors involved during the 3 days! Furthermore, this year's agenda revealed specific Keynote sessions that showcased industry leaders and influential speakers, offering valuable insights and inspiration to attendees and highlighting how corporate access to international capital markets has become a critical factor. 🤝 We, as a bank, must facilitate this access: matching resources that are looking for good investment opportunities with corporate funding needs is one of our priorities! A priority we can address by offering our clients the whole range of both standard and taylor made solutions and options they can evaluate during their journey! 🚀 As “THE-go-to-bank” for all the Corporates - It brings us great pleasure to share the results of such a remarkable event which this year included also specific focus on how capital markets can support non-listed companies' growth plans! Especially the 3rd day’s IPO & Alternative Capital Markets Forum provided food for thought for how we can support corporates to orderly implement a step-by-step growth process, leveraging on both the traditional capital markets and all the pre-IPO tools and solutions (such as for example: private equity, patient capital, private placements, private club deals, etc.) we can structure by activating important synergies among our best in class product factories, our corporate networks and our UHNW experts!   🔗 Read more about the conference and the agenda on the conference website: https://lnkd.in/dA3j9AFG or on OneUniCredit: https://lnkd.in/dk5MUEwj 📌 #UniCredit #OurBusiness #OurClients #ItalianInvestmentConference #EquityCapitalMarkets #Advisory
