Our Regional Trade Office in Bydgoszcz is now open

PAIH's Regional Trade Offices are a real support for entrepreneurs who want to develop their business and enter foreign markets. Entrepreneurs can count on free expert advice in the field of export, investment, product promotion and building business relationships abroad. Our FTO’s help in analyzing potential markets, establishing business contacts, preparing an export offer, as well as in using available State Support programs. Thanks to cooperation with PAIH's foreign offices, companies gain access to a global network of contacts and practical knowledge about the conditions for doing business in over 70 countries.

Paweł Pudłowski, PAIH’s Deputy Chairman, during the opening of the Regional Trade Office in Bydgoszcz, emphasized that these facilities are a key support for Polish entrepreneurs wishing to develop their business on foreign markets and emphasized the importance of the Agency's presence in the regions and the role of local entrepreneurs in building a strong Polish export economy.

Today we are taking another important step towards the economic development of the country. The Regional Trade Office in Bydgoszcz is not only a point on the map – it is a place of real support for local companies that have the potential to appear on global markets. We believe that thanks to this initiative, we will help turn regional ambitions into international success- emphasized PAIH’s Deputy Chaiman Paweł Pudłowski.

The opening of PAIH’s Regional Trade Office in Bydgoszcz is a response to the needs of local entrepreneurs. The new facility will serve as an advisory and information centre for companies from the region, providing access to specialist knowledge, business contacts and tools facilitating foreign expansion.

Bydgoszcz is the strongest business centre in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, and our central location on the map of Poland, access to an international airport, good communication with seaports and European economic centres, have a significant impact on the activities of local companies that are already successfully operating on European and global markets. The key to their success is certainly the innovation and quality of the products and services offered, which, thanks to the opening of PAIH's regional office in Bydgoszcz, will gain additional support in international expansion. The interest of local companies in our activities, such as economic missions, conferences and training sessions on export topics are proof that internationalization is extremely important for Bydgoszcz and regional entrepreneurs. We are convinced that joining the network of PAIH’s Regional Trade Offices will strengthen the city's existing activities in this area and will open up new development opportunities for Bydgoszcz’s entrepreneurs and strengthen their position on the global market - emphasized Rafał Bruski, Mayor of Bydgoszcz.

During the opening, the Voivode of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship also took the floor, emphasizing the PAIH Regional Trade Office’s contribution to the development of the entire region.

The event was also attended by PAIH’s representatives, who during their presentations presented the assumptions of the operation of Regional Trade Offices, the possibilities of expansion into global markets and the prospects for the development of investments in the region.

During the meeting, there was also a debate under the title "Local Business. Global Reach.", which was attended by entrepreneurs from the region. Representatives of Bydgoszcz companies such as Atos Poland, DARPOL and POLON-ALFA talked about the challenges faced by companies planning to enter international markets.

PAIH's Regional Trade Office in Bydgoszcz is located in the Bydgoszcz Industrial and Technological Park, at 6 Bydgoskich Przemysłowców Street and is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
