On July 1st, the Polish Canadian Chamber of Commerce assumed the rotating presidency of the International Group of Chambers of Commerce (IGCC) Poland.

We want to express our sincere appreciation and ‘Obrigado’ (thank you) to the Polish Portuguese Chamber of Commerce for their excellent work and cooperation over the past six months. To commemorate their successful presidency and transition, PCCC’s own Bernhard Otterstein (President) and Katarzyna Stachowicz (Executive Director) joined other IGCC-member chambers for a celebratory handover lunch at Portugalia Gourmet.

Thank you to the following chambers for participating and for the opportunity to re-connect: Belgian Business Chamber (BBC), Poland-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, Polish-Swiss Chamber of Commerce, Scandinavian-Polish Chamber of Commerce ( SPCC ), British Polish Chamber of Commerce (BPCC), Polish Spanish Chamber of Commerce / Cámara de Comercio Polaco Española, ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA Poland, Irish Polish Chamber of Commerce, American Chamber of Commerce in Poland.

Moving forward, the goals of the Polish Canadian Chamber of Commerce‘s six-month presidency will concentrate on continuing fruitful cooperation and strong coordination with other member chambers to implement the autumn and winter networking events, starting with the Back to Business Mixer co-organized with SGH Warsaw School of Economics; holding discussion sessions with elected officials and public servants on pro-investment policies; and planning for 2025 activities and initiatives.

At the PCCC, we remain dedicated and steadfast to working alongside other member chambers and partners to deliver over the next six months.
