foreign investors in the continent. Poland is next only to UK in terms of job cr

companies including Infosys, KPIT, Wipro, HCL, Irevna, Intelnet Global and Zens
ar already have presence in Poland and command a growing share of the IT/ITeS pr
esence there.
In her comments, Namrata Sundaresan, Director, IBI Consulting, said, â The domain of
inter-country delegations has been hitherto the preserve of large industry assoc
iations, while this is great from a more macro perspective; we strive to bring f
ocus on the B2B interactions between companies of two countries or regions in ou
r delegations and events. This event has the support of the entire Polish govern
ment hierarchy in India indicated by the presence of the two top officials and a
lso the key professionals in the Eastern Poland Business Promotion bureau. The e
vent will also be interesting for those looking at partners to tap the fast grow
ing Polish market. We feel med-sized ICT companies will in particular benefit fr
om this event.â
