First of all. Let's not kid ourselves. The vast majority of people who come to Warsaw, come here on business. Think of it this way: Warsaw's airport sees about 75% of all travellers to Poland passing through its gates. One wouldn't be too far off to say that the city holds the same cut of all investment in this great country... Here you'll find the tallest buildings, the fastest cars, the most expensive restaurants - the works. Warsaw is the reason you see foreigners in business suits attempting to speak Polish. Warsaw is the trend-setter and the big boss of Poland. In short, Warsaw is all about business - and business is all over Warsaw.
Here in Warsaw you'll find all the big dogs. For those with aspirations of world domination there's plenty going on in Warsaw to serve as an inspiration, and if you're coming from abroad and are worried you won't find a job in an English-speaking environment then relax - nothing could be farther from the truth! To get a good idea of which companies you'll find in the capital, just check out the list of Chambers of Commerce at the bottom of this page and go to the appropriate country's list of members.
For those of you who already have some money in your pocket and are looking to increase it, Warsaw - and all of New Europe - is a perfect place for investment. The rapidly developing economy is coupled with a fiery ambition seen in just about every member of the workforce. Trust us, there is definitely a future in these parts... Why else would we be here?!
