Thirteen Polish companies decided to participate in the event as exhibitors, and in addition, Polish companies took advantage of the opportunity to present their products and services at the National Stand through exhibitions of catalogs and leaflets, as well as the presentations of a promotional film.
Numerous activities promoting the industry were conducted at the National Stand, including a press briefing and meetings with experts, and a special stand area was used by the entrepreneurs to hold B2B meetings, networking sessions and conduct their own promotional activities.
