Cooperation between PAIH and PFSz

We started to cooperate in 2021. At that time, the Polish Investment and Trade Agency granted honorary patronage over our report on the medtech sector "Top Disruptors in Healthcare". The material prepared by us is the largest compendium of knowledge about medical startups operating in Poland. Recently, we were a partner for the health / medtech section in the last report prepared by PAIH together with the Digital Poland Foundation - Invest in Digital Poland. - Jaroslaw J. Fedorowski PFSz’s Chairman recalls the beginnings of cooperation with PAIH.

Another joint initiative of both organizations was a webinar for Polish companies producing medical equipment. The topic was the financing opportunities and potential partnerships for the medtech sector in Poland, which had over 100 participants.

As PAIH, we are in constant contact with the Polish Federation of Hospitals and are happy to undertake various types of activities together. One of our recent joint initiatives is to establish constant contact between PAIH ‘s Center for Investments and PFSz. Thanks to the vast knowledge of experts from the Polish Federation of Hospitals, in among other things, the field of AI in medicine, we can jointly engage in meetings and consultations regarding advanced solutions for the medical sector, also as part of inquiries arising in CI projects. - Grzegorz Słomkowski emphasized the importance of joint relations.

The signed Agreement will allow the Polish Investment and Trade Agency to gain access to the wide range of knowledge of PFSz experts. We are very pleased and hope that cooperation with the Polish Hospital Federation will not be limited to activities only in Poland. The agreement will also facilitate the transfer of knowledge to PAIH’s Foreign Trade Offices. - said Zdzisław Sokal.
