What an incredible evening at the Krakowski Business Mixer!_June 10

On 10 June 2026, representatives of the international business community gathered at the Hotel Mercure Kraków Stare Miasto for the annual Krakowski Business Mixer, one of the most anticipated networking events in Kraków’s business calendar.

The event brought together more than 180 participants from a wide range of industries and organizations, creating an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas, establish new business relationships, and strengthen existing connections in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Hosted in the beautiful interiors of the Hotel Mercure Kraków Stare Miasto, the evening provided an ideal setting for meaningful conversations and cooperation among members of the local and international business community.

The organizers would like to express their sincere gratitude to the Marshal of the Małopolska Region and the President of the City of Kraków for granting honorary patronage to the event. Their support highlights the importance of international cooperation and business development in the region.

We would also like to thank all co-organising chambers of commerce and partner organizations whose collaboration and commitment contributed significantly to the success of this year’s Krakowski Business Mixer. Through their joint efforts, the event once again demonstrated the strength and diversity of Kraków’s international business network.

Special appreciation goes to our sponsors, whose support made the event possible:

  • Air France KLM
  • CGI
  • Lebek
  • TIGGES
  • Lexus & Toyota

Their engagement and partnership played an important role in delivering a successful and memorable evening.

Most importantly, we would like to thank all attendees for their participation, enthusiasm, and openness to building new connections. The impressive turnout of more than 180 guests confirms the growing importance of cross-sector and international networking initiatives in Kraków.

We look forward to welcoming the business community again at future editions of the Krakowski Business Mixer and continuing to foster collaboration, innovation, and international business relations in the region.
