In the Media

This region stands as one of the most dynamic corridors of opportunity in Europe. That change didn’t happen overnight… It’s the result of many small acts of courage, connection, and cooperation – and these are exactly the values that this Summit continues to strengthen.

 

Biljana Braithwaite
Co-Founder, Sustineri Partners

Regional cooperation is not a warm-up act – it is the main show. It’s a bridge to the EU single market and a stepping stone to integration, a foundation for our future.

 

Amer Kapetanović
RCC Secretary General

We must move beyond the inherited narrative of growth at all costs. Leaders need to embed resilience KPIs, embrace scenario thinking, and stop treating the future as a fringe concern. I hope we will meet again at the next Summit, which is already too long away.

 

Leo Johnson
Chair / Lecturer in Transformative

It was truly powerful to discuss the Future of Leadership with two forward-thinking leaders who have put inclusion and values at the heart of their leadership.

 

Anino Emuwa
Managing Director / Founder, Avandis Consulting / 100 Women @ Davos

It is great to be at this Summit, where many of us are talking about the future—the future of Europe and the world. The future is exciting but deeply challenging, and leaders must take it seriously now.

 

Dex Hunter-Torricke
Silicon Valley Communications Expert

Year after year, this Summit has exceeded all expectations, becoming the most prestigious event in the region. We believe the financial sector has a key role in building a sustainable future. Our partnership with this Summit reflects our strong commitment to ESG principles, sustainable finance, and the development of a green economy.

 

Miloš Pavlović
President of the Management Board, Universal Capital Bank

The Summit is rapidly becoming the “Davos” of the Balkans. Dialogue between policymakers, regulators and industry is absolutely crucial for identifying the sweet spot between robustly supporting AI innovation for the betterment of people’s lives and mitigating the risks of AI harms.

Media Partnerships

Over the past three years, the Adria Future Summit (former ESG Adria Summit) has developed a steadily expanding and increasingly strategic network of media partners, reflecting its growing role as a regional platform for sustainable development, responsible investment and sustainabilty-focused dialogue. The network now extends across all major outlets in Montenegro and includes national broadcasters and specialist channels from across the wider region.

Partnerships have broadened in both scale and substance: what began as general news coverage has evolved into thematic collaborations with platforms focused on investment, energy, the green transition, entrepreneurship, women’s leadership and public policy.

The summit’s approach goes beyond conventional coverage. Media partners are invited to contribute stories, perspectives and expertise directly into panels and discussions, recognising the role of journalism in shaping regional perceptions of sustainability and the future. In this way, the relationship is collaborative, media are treated as active participants in the dialogue rather than observers on the margins.
