The event is addressed to the Polish entrepreneurs, with particular focus on SMEs, active exporters and entrepreneurs interested in exporting their products and services, and those planning and implementing foreign investments.
The evening ceremonial Gala of the PAIH Business Forum will not only be a summary of the full-day Forum, but above all honouring the contribution of investment and export business to the development of the Polish economy.
The Business Forum is a one-off meeting of business people, regions, SEZ, marshal offices, clients of PAIH and Partners.
