On Tuesday 22 September, six bilateral chambers operating in Poland joined forces to make new business contacts for their members.

Representatives of the Belgian, British, Canadian, Dutch, Italian and Spanish chambers, together with Polish companies interested in meeting them, gathered at the Batida Restaurant in the heart of Warszawa on ul. Marszałkowska 53.

Katarzyna Węcławiak (Belgian Business Chamber), Elro van den Burg ( NPCC), Zuzanna Gołębiewska (SPCC), Anna Krukowska (CCIIP), Eileen Gricuk (PCCC) and Ewa Świętochowska (BPCC) welcomed nearly 100 guests.

Following three rounds of table talks, Tim Bridgman of Szkolenia-Łódź drew lucky winners for his book Positively Disappointed, including a surprise invitation to a cross-culture conference to be held early December in Łódź. Dr. Organic also provided a gift set for the draw.

The structured networking sessions were followed with a cocktail mixer enabling further informal networking with all delegates. There was no shortage of wine and finger buffet delicacies, including the famous Batida chocolate, so the talks went on till late hours.

Which Polish city is best for doing business?

The BPCC’s Tax and Finance Reform policy group met at the Warsaw offices of the World Bank to hear about the World Bank’s first-ever sub-national Doing Business report on Poland.
For many years, the World Bank examines and ranks economies around the world (189 last year) in terms of ease of doing business. Poland ranks 32nd whilst the UK lies in eighth place. However, this global survey looks at 11 indicators (such as time taken to register a company, obtain planning permission, enforce a contract through the courts) in each country’s main business city.
