Polish Entrepreneurs in the Conquest of the Scottish Market

Picklemedia Consultancy Ltd together with Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce and British Chamber of Commerce invites everyone to a business seminar: “Polish Entrepreneurs in the Conquest of the Scottish Market”. The event is addressed to Polish entrepreneurs who already run a business or just have started thinking about starting one. The event is also a great opportunity to meet Polish entrepreneurs in Scotland. The meeting will be held on 28th March starting at 6.30pm in Edinburgh, at the Royal Society of Edinburgh, 22-26 George Street, EH2 2PQ, map.

The main subject of the event will be finance for business growth considering banking products for small businesses, local funds, public subsidies for innovative companies and cooperation with so-called business angels. Two Polish entrepreneurs that have been successfully operating in Edinburgh for several years will share their experience. We are convinced that Polish business seminar will provide practical knowledge and gives opportunity to meet Polish entrepreneurs in person.

Polish services, at home and abroad, have become a synonym of reliability, competence and professionalism. The aim of this meeting is not only to provide the audience with useful business insight, but also to create a network for entrepreneurial Poles in Scotland. The formal presentations would be followed by informal networking and swapping of business cards over a glass of wine

Long term, we believe that such a series of networking events will help Polish entrepreneurs grow during the recession, form a platform for exchanging ideas, making new contacts and to increase the competitiveness of Polish firms in Scotland.
