A New Strategic Partner for the PCCA
Janusz Jasiński (Chairman of OPZL) and Jarosław Nieradka (Director of OPZL) met with Tomasz Matysik (Vice President of the Polish Chamber of Commerce Australia) on 10 November 2015 to initiate a cooperation between the two organisations.
OPZL (Organizacja Pracodawców Ziemi Lubuskiej), located in Zielona Góra, Poland, is a leading non-profit organisation bringing together the fastest growing companies in the region. Comprising representatives from Lubuskie employers, OPZL seeks to improve business conditions in Poland.
Australia is still an exotic country for Poles, however business opportunities between the countries are increasing. Progressing economic cooperation will be the focus of discussions between OPZL and PCCA.
