We are very pleased to inform that this year the Swiss Chamber became a partner of the XXXII Economic Forum in Karpacz, where the Swiss Pavilion will appear for the first time. The event will take place on September 5 – 7, 2023, and its motto will be “New values of the Old Continent – Europe on the verge of change”.
The Economic Forum in Karpacz is the largest meeting platform in Central and Eastern Europe, creating a space for exceptional discussions on the most current economic topics and developing valuable business contacts.
The idea behind the Swiss Pavilion is to make it easier for Swiss companies to use the networking and promotional potential offered by the Forum. The Pavilion is a space for business talks, both open and more intimate, but also a promotional and communication platform for Swiss companies.
The program will include a discussion panel “Quality. Jobs & Innovation: How to keep the investment pace of Swiss companies in Poland?”. The discussion will be attended by:
- H.E. Ivo Germann, Head of Foreign Economic Affairs, SECO (tbc)
- Stanisław Tański, President of the Board, ABB Sp. z o. o.
- Artur Jankowski, Country Manager, Nestlé Polska
- Monique Clua Braun, Country President and General Manager, Novartis Poland.
- Irma Veberič, General Manager, Roche Polska
- Laurent Renaudie, Country President Sandoz in Poland
Another important point on the agenda will be the 13th Polish-Swiss Forum for Dialogue for Health, which this year will be held under the motto: “Health is Wealth: The Importance of Quality Healthcare for a Country’s Economic Success”.
The Polish-Swiss Forum for Health Dialogue is a well-established, annual event organised to reflect on current trends and challenges in healthcare. Experts and policy makers from both countries get together to share their experience and knowledge and develop recommendations for improvements in the healthcare system. The Partners of this year’s edition are Novartis Poland, Roche Polska and Sandoz Polska.
