Poles developed their talent for the international trading. Besides the fact that they captured western markets skillfully they are also using the opportunities offered by EU membership.
Recent events in the East rapidly forced to change strategies and directions for further expansion. It is a good lesson in building the strategy of being present on many markets as well as learning new business culture and facing new opportunities. For a long time Saudi Arabia was probably the most underrated market by the Polish business. Saudi Arabia is a quarter the GDP of all Arab countries, it creates the opportunities for the gigantic industrial and residential infrastructure investments, possibility of fighting for food supply to the country that imports 98% of foodstuffs from around the world.
Polish Saudi Business Council and Polish Saudi Chamber of Commerce want to be a cooperation promoter for the entrepreneurs and companies of both countries. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a large country with very competitive market. That requires from the Polish companies patience and professionalism, careful determination of their chances and right partner on the Saudi side. There are multiple opportunities and possibilities to begin with renovation and modernization of the refining and petrochemical industry through building and finishing materials supply, IT issues and to end with, as already mentioned above, foodstuffs and water supply.
I'm encouraging strong and resilient companies to business activity.
