Poznań’s International Conference Offers a Boost to Foreign Entrepreneurs
Poznań has long been known for its progressive spirit, rich cultural landscape, and strong economic foundations. But on 22 May 2025, the city adds a powerful new initiative to its name: the Grow in Poznań international conference. This event is designed specifically for foreign professionals and aspiring entrepreneurs who want to establish themselves and grow in the heart of Poland.
If you’re new to Poznań or considering your next steps in business or employment here, the Grow in Poznań conference is a must-attend event. With a carefully curated programme of expert talks, hands-on workshops, and personalized consultations, it promises to turn ideas into action—and newcomers into confident professionals.
Empowering Foreign Nationals in a New Business Landscape
For many international residents, Poland can feel like a land of opportunity—tempered by layers of bureaucracy, cultural nuances, and unfamiliar legal systems. That’s where Grow in Poznań steps in. This one-day event is all about demystifying the Polish business and employment environment, giving attendees the tools to confidently navigate challenges and seize opportunities.
Taking place at the innovative Plus Jeden venue, located at Za Bramką 1, the conference is more than just a series of talks. It’s a fully interactive experience meant to spark conversations, foster collaboration, and build bridges between cultures.
Whether you’re planning to start your own company, searching for your first job in Poland, or simply want to broaden your professional horizons, Grow in Poznań offers practical support and meaningful connections.
