Today, the next generation of emigrants is looking to strengthen its ties with Poland. The<em> Poland. Business Adventure<\/em> programme helps them rebuild their connection with their homeland. Through the programme, scholarship recipients gain experience at Polish companies, learn about Polish culture and rediscover the country that is part of their family heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scholarship recipients and representatives of the business community received certificates commemorating their participation in the programme from Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Rados\u0142aw Sikorski, Head of the Foreign Service Henryka Mo\u015bcicka Dendys, and PAIH President Artur Osuchowski.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Rados\u0142aw Sikorski highlighted the growing interest in the programme, both among young, ambitious people who are ready to take on new challenges and among the partner companies that host them. He stressed that the aim of the programme is not only to take part in an internship, but also to build new relationships and spark participants\u2019 interest in Poland. He noted that the objectives of the <em>Poland. Business Adventure<\/em> programme are being achieved and that the programme itself is proving effective. PAIH President Artur Osuchowski also spoke about the excellent opportunities that Poland offers young people. He encouraged participants to see Poland not only as a place to visit, but also as a country where they can build their future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"quote\"><strong><em><strong>Poland has gone from being a country that people left to find work to becoming an excellent place to build a career, develop professionally and establish a business. We hear this more and more often from foreigners visiting Poland. I am convinced that after three months of your internships, you feel the same way. I hope that completing your <em>Poland. Business Adventure<\/em> internship will not be the end of your adventure with Poland, but the beginning of a completely new and wonderful story in which you will be the protagonists,\u201d<\/strong> <\/em><\/strong><em>Artur Osuchowski, President of PAIH, told the scholarship recipients.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paih.gov.pl\/poland-business-adventure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Poland. Business Adventure<\/a><\/strong> programme is aimed at people aged 21 to 35 of Polish origin who live outside Poland. The second edition of the programme has 92 scholarship recipients, who are undertaking paid internships at 46 partner companies and institutions. The final group of participants will complete their internships in November 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The success of the <em>Poland. Business Adventure<\/em> programme confirms the potential of the initiative jointly implemented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and PAIH as a tool for building bridges between the Polish diaspora and Poland. It encourages participants to consider returning to Poland permanently and helps strengthen the competitiveness of Polish companies in international markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sukces programu <em>Poland.
