On April 29, 2025, a working meeting took place at the Vienna Economic Forum premises. Harald Kröger, Head of Group Structured Finance and Investment Banking, Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI), and Gregor Höpler, Head of Group Executive Office Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI), met with VEF Secretary General Ambassador Dr. Elena Kirtcheva and Niko Petkovic, Senior Project Manager and Executive Assistant to the Secretary General of Vienna Economic Forum, to discuss the joint organization of the 22nd Vienna Economic Forum – Vienna Future Dialogue 2025.

The 22nd Vienna Economic Forum – Vienna Future Dialogue 2025 will take place on November 17, 2025, in the RBI’s  Festive Hall. In a very friendly and open atmosphere, future cooperation was intensively discussed, and ideas on current issues in the regional, European, and global economy and politics were exchanged.

Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) was a founding member in 2004 and a long-standing cooperation partner of Vienna Economic Forum. The further activation and deepening of the cooperation between RBI and VEF through the co-organization of the 22nd Vienna Economic Forum is an important sign of mutual recognition.
