The British-Polish Chamber of Commerce and the Pomerania Development Agency invite you to a conference addressed to Polish manufacturing companies located in the Pomerania region that want to enter the British market. The aim of the meeting is to support Polish entrepreneurs from industries for which demand is constantly growing among customers in the United Kingdom, mainly food, construction, metallurgy, marine engineering and many others.

When Polish producers are having more and more problems with exports to the east, the United Kingdom. Britain looks like a very promising market. British consumers are affluent, but also demanding and diverse. Some are looking for new taste sensations or organic origin of products, while others point to lower prices regardless of the origin of the products.

That is why it is so important to know how to operate on the British market, how to establish cooperation with contractors and how to convince the British to purchase Polish products. During the conference, issues related to exchange rates, translation and concluding contracts between two different legal systems will be discussed in the most practical form.

During the meeting, we will present the expertise of our partners who, together with BPCC, provide comprehensive solutions for introducing products and services to the UK market.

The event is addressed to representatives of manufacturing companies, regardless of the industry represented.
