Economic promotion of Warmia and Mazuria region in Sweden and Finland

On behalf of The Marshal?s Office of the Warmian-Mazurian Voivodeship, Ageron Poland Co. LLC acted as the Economic Ambassador of Warmia and Mazuria region in Sweden and Finland for four months. We started the project with an analysis of the region’s economic offer in view of the characteristics of both Finnish and Swedish markets and we determined the industrial sectors with the highest import and export potential. Next, we designed the region’s economic potential promotion strategy for fairs and networking meetings.

From July to September the representatives of Ageron Poland and The Marshal’s Office promoted the region’s potential and the key sectors at individual meetings with business partners. The key sectors are:

• shipbuilding (yachts and sailing boats);
• wood processing;
• agri-foodstuffs industry;
• green energy;
• IT/ICT services.

As a result of the project we established close relations with investors, entrepreneurs interested in importing goods from Poland and business environment institutions which provide support for entrepreneurs who enter the Scandinavian markets.
