Plenary session – I Choose 590 – took place for the second time. This is part of the Educational Campaign #IChoose590, which aims to persuade Polish consumers to consciously choose Polish products. Any shift of purchases by 1% from the group of goods and services purchased, produced abroad by a non-Polish company to the group of goods and services produced in the country by a Polish company would mean an additional PLN 6.6 billion remaining in Poland, according to a report prepared by Grant Thornton for campaign #IChoose590. “We simulated the impact of changing consumer habits on building domestic savings. It turns out that each shift of purchases by 1% from Group 4 [foreign company, production abroad] to Group 1 [Polish company, production in Poland] would mean an additional almost PLN 6.6 billion remaining in Poland, which would increase the investment potential of companies and public sector and increased the purchasing capacity of Polish consumers, ” states a report presented at Congress 590.

The two-day event provided a number of conclusions and practical solutions. Jasionka is becoming an important place of dialogue for many communities about the economic future of our country.

60 million Congress – Global Polonia Congress, London, 30 May – 1 June 2019.

“60-million Congress – the Global Congress of the Polish Diaspora” was held from 30 May to 1 June 2019 in London.

The name of the Congress corresponds with the total number of Poles living in the world. The inauguration of the Congress took place in 2018, on the hundredth anniversary of Poland regaining its independence and was an excellent opportunity to meet with the Polish community and discuss the current place of Poland on the world map and our position in international relations, with particular emphasis on their economic dimension. The intention of the organizers of the Congress was to define the current status and nature of cooperation between Polish business, scientific and cultural centers in the country and abroad, as well as to determine the importance of this cooperation, together with its benefits. The main purpose of the debate during the meeting was to identify those levels of cooperation, which remain a useful base for developing and strengthening already existing relations, as well as searching for new areas of joint actions that are significant from economics and image-related point of view. There are six consecutive meetings of the 60 Million Congress in 2019 and they are held in six different cities in four countries on two continents, therefore the concept of the business Polonia will reach a very wide audience.
