The Bridge is a strategic initiative of the Republican Coalition, created to strengthen ties between Poland and the United States based on shared conservative values: faith in God, individual freedom, civic responsibility, patriotism, and the sovereignty of the nation-state.
Our mission is to connect prominent Polish public figures – politicians, business leaders, and thinkers – with the American Polish community, which for generations has been a vital part of the free world. Through this project, we create a space for dialogue where Poland’s political and economic transformation meets the American tradition of free markets, constitutional democracy, and strong civil society.
The Bridge supports the transatlantic conservative alliance between Poland and the United States – in politics, business, and social life. It is a platform where leaders committed to the values of Western Christian civilization come together to face today’s global challenges and build a better future.
The Bridge is more than a project. It is a mission to unite people, ideas, and values across the Atlantic – connecting Poland and the United States, tradition and modernity, leadership and community.

The first event of The Bridge initiative will feature Daniel Obajtek, one of Poland’s most recognized leaders in business and public life. His career embodies patriotism, responsibility, and leadership in building a strong, sovereign nation.
Daniel Obajtek is a visionary executive and a committed patriot who has played a key role in securing Poland’s energy independence and economic development. As the former CEO of Poland’s largest energy company, he led transformative efforts to protect the country’s strategic interests and promote national economic sovereignty.
During his visit to the United States, Daniel Obajtek will meet with the Polish-American community in Chicago and other cities, where he will present his book “Jeszcze nie skończyłem” (“I’m Not Done Yet”), sharing his personal and professional journey – from local government to leading one of Poland’s largest enterprises.
In addition to the public book event, Daniel Obajtek will hold a series of closed-door meetings with key representatives of the Polish-American community, business leaders, and political figures. These discussions will focus on strengthening Polish-American economic cooperation, supporting Polish heritage in the United States, and promoting conservative values in the public and business spheres.
This project is not only an opportunity to present a personal story of leadership but also to build lasting relationships across the Atlantic, foster dialogue on shared conservative values, and inspire greater engagement of the Polish diaspora in shaping the future of Poland and the free world.
