The agenda included discussions on the Next Generation EU plan, public aid and subsidies at the state, regional, and local levels, alternative financing systems, and solutions such as renting, leasing, factoring, and confirming, as well as refinancing strategies. The forum attracted over a thousand connected participants over its two days.
