Polish – Nordic
Meeting Point
Polish-Nordic Meeting Point is a joint project of the Scandinavian-Polish Chamber of Commerce, its partners, and the embassies of the Nordic countries.

Participation in the European Economic Congress under the standard package, which includes access to debates and exhibition areas (including the Polish Nordic Meeting Point hosted by the SPCC), is FREE OF CHARGE; however, registration on the organisers’ website is obligatory.
