The new Asian consumer – trends and challenges of the food sector in Asia
Asia is a continent with a huge consumption potential, over 4.5 billion people living in 48 countries, and an increasingly important destination for Polish exporters. Asia's attractiveness is primarily due to its rapid economic development. Asian markets are currently one of the most dynamically changing. The continent is undergoing significant changes in the level of wealth of its societies and consumer awareness.
In recent months and years, Asian countries have also been opening up more and more to Polish food products. Exporting to these countries represents a huge opportunity. However, in order to take full advantage of this, it is important to remember to meet the often stringent market and consumer requirements. Asian consumers often look for products with completely different characteristics and parameters, which requires proper preparation. The readiness of the Polish food sector to meet these requirements will determine the global success of the industry. During the panel, experts from PAIH's Foreign Trade Offices and representatives of Polish business will talk about trends and challenges in this part of the world.

Doing business in Ukraine under war conditions
What is happening to the Ukrainian economy, despite the ongoing full-scale war, is a peculiar phenomenon. In a further year of the Russian invasion, the Ukrainian economy is still working, and not badly. However, in order to maintain this state of affairs, it is necessary to take measures to maintain its functioning and stimulate further development. For Ukraine's survival, it is necessary to attract foreign investment.
Many companies with Polish capital are aware of this and have been for years conducting and successfully developing their operations on the Ukrainian market . A large number of them have already survived a number of political, economic and social crises, coming out of them unscathed – maintaining or even increasing their market potential. What makes them fight and be ready to continue fighting for presence in the Ukrainian market, even in the face of such an extreme threat as war? What were the reasons for entrepreneurs who decided to set up a company in Ukraine after February 24, 2022? What opportunities and challenges are currently facing Polish business in Ukraine? What support can entrepreneurs count on and what risks must they take into account when deciding to operate on the Ukrainian market? These and other important questions will be answered by our invited guests.

The future of trade relations with China
China's economic recovery after the Corona virus pandemic and the extended period of restrictive zero-COVID policy turned out to be much weaker than the authorities in Beijing had assumed. Combined with the increase in global tensions in international politics, the picture of economic relations with the Middle Kingdom is far more pessimistic than it was 5 years ago.
Is China still a promising market for Polish exporters and an attractive location for new investments? What potential is hidden in the Middle Kingdom and in its still dynamically growing in wealth society? We will answer these and other questions during the discussion panel. The invited experts will also talk about how the analysis of long-term trends defining the future of the Chinese economy has become a key element of the right business strategy.

Challenges for Polish exporters from the FMCG and HoReCa industries in Central and Eastern Europe
The HoReCa and FMCG industry is growing rapidly, but at the same time it faces many challenges. The specificity of the sector, the dynamics of commodity turnover and the competitiveness of both market segments means that companies operating in these industries must be ready for constant changes. Entrepreneurs who want to stay on the market are forced to constantly adapt their offer to emerging trends, seasonality of orders and consumer expectations. The key factors currently shaping demand include, among other things, the growing interest in organic and natural products, sustainable development and social responsibility, and the growing role of e-commerce.
We invite you to a discussion panel, during which we will discuss the challenges currently faced by Polish exporters from the FMCG and HoReCa industries. The invited experts will also present the main factors affecting the reduction in the competitiveness of the Polish offer, among other things. the continuing rising prices of raw materials and energy costs, particularly strongly affecting the HoReCa industry, as well as issues resulting from legislative changes, such as new packaging requirements.

India – challenges and opportunities for Polish business

According to numerous analyses, the Indian market will become the second largest economy in the Asia-Pacific region and in the next few years the third largest in the world, by 2030.

For Polish entrepreneurs, India is a destination with great potential, but also numerous challenges. This dynamic and forward-looking market is surrounded by a number of trade barriers and cultural differences that hinder success. So how do we find our way into the hearts and wallets of Indian consumers in this complex picture? Understanding the nature of the challenges identified is an excellent first step.

Artificial intelligence – development, opportunities and threats for Polish business
Artificial intelligence is undoubtedly a new "megatrend" that creates great opportunities, but also brings numerous challenges.

How to safely deliver goods to Central Asia? Exports in the face of sanctions and the war in Ukraine
The war in Ukraine has significantly affected supply chains in this region of the world. The wide range of sanctions imposed on Russia meant that Polish companies had to find new export routes to Central Asia. Exporters now have to take into account the increased risks associated with political instability, currency volatility and potential payment problems. The war has also caused many companies to look for alternative routes, bypassing conflict zones. As a result, multimodal transport and routes through the Caucasus, Turkey, Iran and Kazakhstan have gained in importance. However, this solution increased the time and costs of transport and insurance.
We invite you to a panel during which experts will talk about the current risks and costs of transporting goods from Poland to Central Asian countries and answer the question of whether the Central Asian region is still an attractive destination for Polish exporters in the face of sanctions and the war in Ukraine.

The specificity of Latin American markets
Latin America, which has great potential is still an undiscovered destination for Polish entrepreneurs. Latin American countries, with about 650 million inhabitants, are a huge and friendly market with few formal barriers. Cooperation between the LATAM region and EU countries is largely based on free trade agreements. Latin American markets are also often less competitive, which means that fewer competitors have to be defeated in the fight for export success.
Experts from PAIH's Foreign Trade Offices, the Ministry of Development and Technology and representatives of Polish companies operating in Latin America will talk about the opportunities and challenges related to export to Latin American countries and the characteristics of the region.
