“Nearshoring to Poland”:
An Executive Briefing for Swiss corporates

27 November 2024
Online Only

Concept: This is a niche, Invitation-only event, set for 27 November 2024 – in online format only. This mini-event will be 1 hour of advice and case-studies for Swiss companies considering near-shoring and IT sourcing options
in Poland.

Why attend?
Demand is growing for highly-qualified tech, engineering, and other white-collar (finance and accounting) talent. If you search for a higher quality of ITO or BPO/Shared Services, or simply would like to hear from top Swiss executives running operations in Poland, join us as we review case studies of the sourcing and offshoring model.

There’s a Polish term, “kombynowac,” that describes the scrappy, can-do attitude that spans the country’s culture and workforce. This webinar will explore the nitty-gritty, unvarnished ins-and-outs of Swiss companies operating in Poland and Central Eastern Europe and opportunities with building your own captive shared services center (or ITO) in Poland, versus starting with an offshoring partner.

We expect about 10-15 top Swiss corporates to attend, and a total of 25 top executives.

Co-Organizers: 

The event is co-organized jointly by European Business Services Association, and Itelence; and supported by Swiss Business Hub Central Europe and Polish-Swiss Chamber of Commerce.

Date: 27 November, 2024.
