President Piotr Uszok invites to the IV ECSME

21.08.2014

President of Katowice - Piotr Uszok - invites to the Fourth European Congress of Small and Medium - Size Enterprises, which will be held in September in Katowice:

- On September 22-25, 2014, the City of Katowice will once again become the arena for the debate on the biggest economic challenges for Poland and Europe. Thanks to the organisers of the European Congress of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, entrepreneurs, politicians, self-governors and representatives of the world of culture will visit the capital of the region to talk about the most important problems that SME face.

SME constitute not only the most numerous group among companies in Poland, but also the employers of more than 60% of Polish employees. It is worth bearing in mind that those enterprises generate almost half of Poland's GDP and their activity has markedly helped to maintain the stability of Polish economy.

That is why credit needs to be given to the organisers of the Congress, who took on the difficult task of organising a debate which results are directed at actions that assist entrepreneurs. In the current tense geo-political climate, a discussion that deals with problems and ways of supporting the SME sector only gains in significance.

Therefore, while encouraging everyone to take part in the Congress, I would also like to wish for all of the Congress' participants to have a fruitful debate and to establish many new relationships with potential trade partners.
