Last week, Bernhard L. Otterstein, President of the Polish Canadian Chamber of Commerce, represented our Chamber at the Economic Forum in Starachowice, where he actively engaged in a panel discussion on current business challenges and opportunities.

The Forum gathered representatives from chambers of commerce, special economic zones, regional development agencies, local government, banks, and the private sector to examine Poland’s transition toward green energy, technological development, and available financial support mechanisms. The programme offered a wide-ranging view of the policies and partnerships needed to accelerate the country’s energy and innovation transformation.

The discussion was an inspiring exchange of ideas and experiences — a timely reminder that collaboration and diversity of perspectives are essential drivers of progress. The Polish Canadian Chamber of Commerce remains committed to fostering international cooperation and supporting initiatives that promote sustainable economic growth.
