World Business Bridge Polska Foundation
About us
Effective International Expansion
The primary mission of the World Business Bridge Foundation Poland is to support the growth of Polish companies on a global scale. We recognize the opportunities that lie ahead for Polish business expansion into other parts of the world. Being fully aware of the challenges in scaling businesses and the risks associated with expanding operations, we aim to assist companies in this ambitious endeavor. As the name of our foundation suggests, we help build bridges between entrepreneurs, scientists, and professionals from around the world. We connect businesses with potential clients, investors, academic institutions, industry organizations, and both governmental and local public administrations. We believe in the potential of Polish business, so we support companies regardless of their stage of development or their revenue levels. In our Foundation’s programs, you will find both startups looking for their market niche and established companies in need of scaling assistance. Our primary activities include organizing business meetings while building an ecosystem of companies that can benefit from our extensive business experience and vast network of contacts. We create a nexus for businesses where they can collaborate with potential partners and leverage the expertise of individuals within our network. We invite all companies interested in international expansion to get in touch!
Pro Bono Initiatives
The World Business Bridge Foundation aspires to make a positive impact on communities and economies in developing countries worldwide. One of our key objectives is to stimulate entrepreneurship as a driving force for sustainable development and improved quality of life. That’s why we also conduct pro bono activities aimed at supporting entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial initiatives, especially in African countries. The World Business Bridge Foundation fully understands that access to resources and support may be limited in developing countries. With passion and commitment, we engage in pro bono efforts that allow us to make an even greater impact in support of local entrepreneurs.
