The PAIH Business Forum 2024 has started!

The fifth edition of the PAIH Business Forum is two days full of discussions and meetings. This year, on Wednesday, October 2, more than 30 workshops and panels will be held at PGE Narodowy, and on the next day extensive networking and consultations with experts from the Agency and its partners are planned. The first discussions and meetings are behind us.

Such a large turnout at the PAIH Business Forum 2024 clearly shows that Poles want to export. And are more and more enthusiastic about doing so. Entrepreneurs know that you need to prepare for export and are actively looking for knowledge on how to go about it. I am convinced that these two days will be an opportunity to gain practical information, hold substantive meetings and establish numerous business contacts - said Andrzej Dycha, Chairman of the Management Board of the Polish Investment and Trade Agency, during his opening speach.

So far, the ABC of Export panel has enjoyed the greatest interest. Equally popular was the presentation about the preparations for Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai and the keynote speaker's speech. Over 1000 people registered for each of the above-mentioned activities.

The aim of the Forum is to support Polish entrepreneurs who want to develop, look for new solutions and ideas. Especially those companies that are planning or have already started to expand into foreign markets. Therefore, throughout the Forum, entrepreneurs have the opportunity to talk to representatives of PAIH's Foreign Trade Offices from over 70 markets and advisors from the Agency's headquarters and its regional offices scattered throughout Poland. So far, PAIH’s German Foreign Trade Office has been the most popular among entrepreneurs.
