About Poland

Quick development and changes have made Poland a modern country. The standard of living in Poland is comparable to that of Western European countries. The economic transformation that begun in Poland in 1989 is still continuing. This is a very positive signal.

Poland's safety and credibility is secured by its membership of UE, NATO and OECD. Poland's credibility and friendly investment climate are favorable for investors wishing to do business here. Stable macro-economy and perspectives of further economic development encourage others to take interest in Poland.

A young, well educated and ambitious society is Poland's strongest asset. Creative, highly motivated Polish workers are an excellent base for conducting any form of business. A large supply of human resources is an important factor in a long-term, since Polish wages are up to five times lower than those in Western Europe.

Inspired by the most effective examples, Polish companies have implemented modern technology. There are few differences in the way Polish and foreign companies operate. A high level of computerisation and a good knowledge of foreign languages make international business communication simpler.

Polish businessmen are very experienced in business communication, both with Western and Eastern partners which can be very profitable. Many foreign companies take advantage of this situation, by choosing Poland as a base for expansion to the East. The way in which Poles combine tradition and experience with an openness to new solutions and ideas can be very appealing.
