Between April and June 2024, the Belgian Business Chamber (BBC) embarked on a series of visits to three regional Polish cities: Gdańsk, Katowice, and Poznań. The aim of these trips was to showcase the presence of Belgian companies not only in Warsaw but also in various other Polish cities.

With over 50 Belgian companies active in the Pomeranian voivodeship (mainly in the transport sector), Gdańsk was a key destination for the Chamber. The BBC had the unique opportunity to visit the Stocznia Cesarska project, a revitalization initiative led by two Belgian companies and BBC members, Revive and Alides. These companies are currently transforming the Gdańsk shipyard into a vibrant hub, and the BBC was thrilled to witness the project firsthand.

Compared to Pomerania, over 50 companies with Belgian capital are active in Silesia, which is the fourth most popular destination for Belgian investors in Poland. With a strong representation of both the production and services sector, the Chamber traveled to Katowice for a series of events among them a seminar on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Human Resources, organized in collaboration with the Belgian company SD Worx. As a leading HR software provider, SD Worx has thrived inthe Polish market providing innovative solutions that are revolutionizing the HR landscape.

To finish the tour, the BBC visited Greater Poland, which is the second most chosen region by Belgian capital after Mazovia. For its final stop in Poznań, the BBC partnered with its members BPI Real Estate Poland, Cavallia, Revive and VPK Packaging to highlight their achievements in the region. With their innovative approaches BPI Real Estate Poland, Cavallia and Revive are contributing greatly to Poland’s booming real estate sector. On the other hand, headquartered in Września and with production facilities in both Radomsko and Brzeg, VPK Packaging demonstrates a perfect combination of Belgian entrepreneurial excellence and strong family values.  

Throughout its visits, the Belgian Business Chamber aimed to emphasize the importance of regional development of its members in Poland as well as the collaboration between Belgian and Polish businesses.
