A few of you have done it already, but some not yet – please consider this option.
In our Invitation letter to join the Polish Business Club in Jakarta you can read:
“ ……………we would like to gather entrepreneurs, professionals and people with business connections with Poland (or who would like to know more about business in Poland) for the purpose of networking, learning, business development and promoting business and investment not only between Indonesia and Poland but also other countries interested in self promotion.”
