The Wrocław Global Forum aims at giving new spirit to the transatlantic dialog by refocusing it on global challenges and by reinforcing the voice of Central Europe as its key stakeholder.

Below, at the 2011 ‘New Energy Sources and the Global Power Equation Q&A’, Marek Matraszek raises the importance of shale energy in modern Europe, and poses the question of ‘what can commercial operations and governments do, perhaps together, to counter the threat of coalition of forces stifling its development‘ and indeed ‘are there any parallels to be drawn between Norway and Poland, lessons Poland can learn in terms of translating an energy discovery to its political advantage‘.


In this interview with Dominka Wielowieyska, senior journalist at Poland’s leading newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza, Marek Matraszek discusses experiences of lobbying on behalf of foreign investors in Poland, and also the issues around current government proposals to amend existing legislation governing lobbyists and political consultants in Poland.
