Time to reshape your European Network? – Unlocking growth in Central and Eastern Europe

September 2025: Business growth and business networks in Central Eastern Europe (CEE) have significantly matured in the past 2 decades. Today, CEE is outpacing Western Europe on many aspects and offers substantial cost benefits and business growth opportunities. If your European Center of Gravity for business is moving eastwards too, it is time to rethink your European distribution network, tap into business growth, enhance your SC performance and lower your operational costs.

BCI hosted a webinar on the business opportunities and potential distribution networks: what makes business in CEE successful and why should you consequently look into your distribution network?

During this interactive online event, background, frameworks, methodologies and real-life business cases have been provided. The following topics were presented and discussed:

• CEE economic momentum: a gravitational shift eastward
• Trends in CEE: reshaping market and demand: home-grown & international companies
• A zoom on network: infrastructure, logistics capacities (Staff, Space, Transport)
• Challenges & strategic enablers
• Business Cases & valuable lessons learned
• Conclusions and key take-aways
