Together with the Northern Chamber of Commerce , we are the organiser of a discussion panel which will take place on 7 June 2018 at the Northern Chamber of Commerce's headquarters (Wojska Polskiego 86, Szczecin), devoted to the topic of succession in family businesses and issues related to the instruments supporting innovative activities and new technologies in family businesses.

The meeting is dedicated to the owners and representatives of family businesses. During the panel, our company will be represented by Bartosz MIŁASZEWSKI, Managing Partner, as a speaker.
