Polish economy promotion programmes – Funding Monitor

Activities stimulating export are financed at the level of 75% of qualified costs. They cover expenses specified in the Ministry of Economy’s regulation, including renting exhibition surface, preparing promotional materials, publishing advertisement in press, purchasing consulting services, trainings or costs related to obtaining certificate.

Submitting application within the deadline is a condition for receiving reimbursement; AGERON helps with preparing such application. Factors which are extremely important in this process include experience in preparing such applications, good contacts with the Ministry’s employees and current cooperation with companies participating in the programme. Thanks to such support, big majority of applications submitted by entrepreneurs was accepted by the Ministry of Economy, which leads to signing agreement and settling costs after each completed event

Polish economy promotion programmes – Prospection

The Ministry of Economy carried out preliminary assessment of markets and in case of medical and pharmaceutical sectors selected the most promising ones in terms of Polish products’ export: United Arab Emirates, Brazil, Russia, Germany, Switzerland, USA, Czech Republic and China. In case of trade promotional programmes beneficiaries themselves usually indicate specific companies which they would like to meet; our aim is to set up the contact with potential partners and organize a meeting. Working simultaneously in various time zones and different business cultures AGERON’s employees match Polish enterprises with foreign contractors. We encounter many challenges while carrying out this task. Sometimes we tell foreign entrepreneurs about specifics and attractiveness of Polish industry from scratch (US, China). Sometimes inviting to come to Poland, we try to convince to change already established schedule of foreign visits (Germany).

Another way to reach the most interesting trade partners is to participate in meetings with foreign experts, which are organized within trainings and economic missions. Experts invited by AGERON Polska have knowledge and contacts which enable gaining knowledge about structure of selected sector on a given market in an easy way. Polish entrepreneurs can set up direct contact with foreign partners taking part in trade fairs which are included in the schedule. 

Polish economy promotion programmes – Promotion

Within trade promotional programmes entrepreneurs can participate in:

• fairs
• trainings
• economic missions
• conferences 
• meetings with foreign journalists and experts

Planning any promotional activities we do our best to approach clients individually so that we can fully fit message to their strategic aims and specific features of the market. For example, entrepreneurs often decide to publish in trade press, which in case of American and Chinese markets is a prestigious promotion tool.
