Welcome to the Irish Polish Chamber.
The Irish Polish Chamber is an effective networking and influencing organisation. Founded in 2005, we are an independent non-profit organisation, and we seek to foster and promote bi-lateral trade and investment through networking events, market assistance, information, industry events, social events and much more. Our focus is to assist our Members growing their Business, to bring people together, and to make things happen.
We work in close collaboration with the Embassy of Ireland, Enterprise Ireland and Bord Bia, and in 2018 together we produced the Irish-Polish Business Directory. Two-way trade between Ireland and Poland is worth over 3.5 Billion Euro annually. The Enterprise Ireland Office in Warsaw opened in 1998. The Bord Bia Warsaw Office was opened by former Taoiseach Enda Kenny in 2017, and covers 11 Countries in the CEE region. We have a busy programme of networking events, business breakfasts, economic briefings, St. Patrick’s Day events, family summer barbeque with Cumann Warszawa GAA Club, Christmas ceili family event, and our annual flagship event Flavours of Ireland dinner, in partnership with Bord Bia and Origin Green. The event showcases high quality Irish food and drink to the Polish market.
IGCC
We are a member of IGCC, the International Group of Chambers in Poland, a group of 16 international Chambers which represent over 2,000 companies representing the most significant foreign investors in Poland. IGCC has a rotating six-month Presidency, and we held the Presidency of IGCC during the first half of 2019. The IGCC arranges meetings with Government Ministers and key senior Institutional leaders holding decision making authority in Poland that influence the economy and legislation. The meetings are an excellent forum for our Chambers Members to hear perspectives from Polish Leaders and to discuss our concerns of importance.
We would be delighted to welcome you as a member of the Chamber. Whether you are a start-up or a long-established company, all Irish and Irish associated companies, their employees, and families, are invited to be involved in the mix of professional and social benefits that members enjoy. Our Chamber’s diversity of membership is one of our key strengths.
