In the last category, the award was given to <strong>Ewelina Wo\u017aniak-Szpakiewicz<\/strong>, CEO of <strong>DMDmodular<\/strong>. Under her leadership, the company, which provides sustainable, modular building solutions, is dynamically operating in the markets of the UK, Denmark, Belgium, Switzerland, Ireland and the US, responding to the challenges of the housing shortage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The acquisition of the British brand Thomas Cook &#8211; the world&#8217;s oldest travel company and a tourism icon in the UK &#8211; by the <strong>eSky Group<\/strong> was considered the best foreign investment. The leader of the tourism platform in CEE gained access to the developed Western European market, combining the heritage of the Thomas Cook brand with the Polish technology of dynamic holiday packages, flights and hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Polish Export Brand category, the winner was the District Dairy Cooperative in Pi\u0105tnica. <strong>OSM Pi\u0105tnica<\/strong> is an example of a Polish brand that has grown from a local cooperative to one of the leaders of the dairy market in Poland and abroad, becoming a synonym for quality, natural food &#8220;Made in Poland&#8221;. Pi\u0105tnica&#8217;s products are already sold in nearly 30 countries, including the demanding markets of the US, Canada and Great Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"quote\">Today, we have awarded those who have particularly distinguished themselves among exporters. I can assure you that the bar was set extremely high due to global challenges on the one hand, and the huge ambitions of Polish companies on the other. For this reason, I would like to congratulate not only the selected, awarded entrepreneurs, but all those who have experienced the taste of success thanks to their hard work &#8211; said Andrzej Dycha, Chairman of the Management Board of the Polish Investment and Trade Agency.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PAIH Export Leader titles are awarded annually by the Agency. The aim is to select the most effective exporters, achieving above-average results on foreign markets and developing the Polish economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the Gala, the municipalities that best prepared their investment areas were also awarded.
