PAIH’s office in Kielce is now open

The establishment of another PAIH regional office is an important step for local enterprises - thanks to it, they will gain direct access to comprehensive support in preparing to enter foreign markets. In this way, the Agency meets the expectations of entrepreneurs in order to support Polish business even more effectively.

PAIH’s Regional Trade Office in Kielce is not only a new address on the map of support institutions - it is a specific tool for implementing State policy for the internationalization of Polish enterprises. Thanks to PAIH's direct presence in the region, we will be even more effective in supporting Świętokrzyskie companies in entering foreign markets - offering access to PAIH’s network of foreign trade offices, assistance in establishing business contacts, participation in economic missions and individual export consulting. This is comprehensive public support that shortens the distance to global markets and strengthens the competitiveness of Polish companies. The office in Kielce will become a local coordination centre for these activities - a place where global opportunities meet local potential - emphasized Minister of Development and Technology Krzysztof Paszyk.

A stronger presence of the Agency in the region is also an impulse for the development of the local economy and an increase in the investment attractiveness of the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship. Regional offices act not only as a point of export support, but also as a bridge between local governments, economic zones and potential investors.

PAIH’s Regional Trade Office in Kielce is a window to the world for exporters, but also an opportunity to bring our province closer to potential investors. We have very large investment areas that are waiting for investment. We also have hundreds of entrepreneurs who want to export not only to EU markets, but also further away - said Świętokrzyskie Deputy Voivode Michał Skotnicki.

PAIH's Regional Trade Offices are a real support for entrepreneurs. They can count on free expert advice in the field of export, investment, product promotion and building business relationships abroad. RTO’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.

The opening of the Regional Trade Office in Kielce is an extremely important moment for us. Not only because we are expanding our presence to another region, but above all, because we are responding to the real needs of Świętokrzyskie entrepreneurs. We want to be close to local companies, support them with knowledge, tools and contacts. We believe that thanks to this facility, more companies from the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship will dare to take a step towards the global market - said PAIH’s Deputy Chairman Paweł Pudłowski.

PAIH's presence in Kielce strengthens the local economic ecosystem and integrates activities to promote the region as an investment- and export-friendly place. Cooperation at the regional level is crucial - it allows for more effective identification of companies' needs, faster response to market challenges and the creation of conditions conducive to the development of innovative ventures.

Kielce is a city with ambitions and a huge entrepreneurial potential. The opening of the office is a signal that local companies have real support in entering foreign markets with their products and services. We want our entrepreneurs to believe that their place is also on the map of global business - added Agata Wojda, Kielce’s President.

The newly opened office in Kielce is part of a nationwide network of PAIH’s Regional Trade Offices, which respond to the needs of companies throughout the country. The priority of the Agency's local offices is to support entrepreneurs, facilitate contact with markets and educate SMEs operating in the region in the field of export.

The PAIH Regional Trade Office in Kielce is located at 499 Ściegiennego Street and operates from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
