The International Talks track—why should you be interested in it?

International Talks – an international thematic track – is one of the key parts of the European SME Congress program. Participants from around the world – entrepreneurs, decision-makers, and representatives of institutions – will exchange experiences, establish partnerships, and discuss specific mechanisms for foreign expansion. Over 100 guests from various countries will take part in six discussion panels. Registration is still open.

Discussions on a global scale

According to European Commission data, one in five European SMEs currently cooperates with large corporations – not only locally, but also on global markets. Poland has remained one of the key destinations for foreign capital for years, and Polish companies, including those from the SME sector, are successfully increasing their presence abroad. The introduction of international topics to the Congress agenda was a natural response to these trends.

International development for every entrepreneur

International Talks is a space for discussions on modern internationalization, cross-border partnerships, foreign investments, and the impact of geopolitics on the SME sector. Participants will also discuss strategies and opportunities for the development of Polish companies on foreign markets, both for beginners and experienced players. The panels will discuss, among other things, promising export markets and strategies tailored to the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises. The discussions will also cover new business models in the context of the global economy. The track will feature six discussion panels with over 100 guests from more than 20 countries, both from within and outside the EU.

Groundbreaking agreements

The event agenda will include talks on current economic relations between Poland and Hungary, new directions for expansion, and priority sectors such as the pharmaceutical, food, automotive, and energy industries.
