World Business Congress of the Polish Expatriate Community

May 19, 2007

We invite you to participate in the World Business Congress of the Polish Expatriate Community from the 16-18th of June 2007 in Warsaw and Lublin Voivodship

The Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency (PAIiIZ) and the Marshall’s Office in Lublin,  invite you to take part in the World Business Congress of the Polish Expatriate Community on  the  16-18th  of June 2007.

This year’s Congress is focused on the presentation of Polish investments, their potential and on cooperation with enterprises of the Lublin voivodship. We are convinced that this event will be very fruitful, in creating business contacts between Polish firms and those of the Polish expatriate community across the world; and in new business ventures, particularly in the field of new technology.

Poland currently finds itself in a faze of rapid growth of GDP, with record levels of exports and the highest rate of Direct Foreign Investments to date. We also have a specific plan for the supplementary financing of various endeavours, with the Structural Funds of the EU.

We hope that the Polish expatriate community is able to play a significant part in this economic boom. For this purpose PAIiIZ is preparing a program of economic cooperation and is opening a Warsaw Business Centre for the Polish Expatriate Community. The opening of which is forecast during the first day of the Congress.

The Business representatives from the countries where the Polish expatriate community is strongest and the most active will take part in the Congress. We hope that Guests, who represent non Polish business groups, will also take part and  will be encouraged by the Poles living abroad to recognise the advantages of doing business in Poland.
