What an incredible experience at the PAIH Business Forum 2025 in Warsaw!
It was a privilege to join leading voices for the panel discussion:
“Polish Food in the Gulf Countries: Halal, Export and Marketing in Arab Culture.”
Thank you to everyone who attended, asked thought-provoking questions, and contributed to such dynamic dialogue. The conversations affirmed that Polish food brands have a tremendous opportunity in the GCC—when we prioritize authentic understanding of local culture, adhere to halal regulatory requirements, and emerging consumer preferences.
