Presenting the Presidential Business Awards at a major economic conference in the southeast of the country, Duda said the winners were “great businessmen, with an unusual sense of responsibility, not only for their companies, but also for what is happening around them.”

He also told those at the ceremony that Poland was a strong economy with a pool of talented people, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.

The awards were presented in a number of categories, including Leading Small and Medium-Sized Business, National Success, International Success, Responsible Business, Best Polish Start-up, and Research and Development.

The winners included companies such as Delta, LPP, Olimp Labs, Marco, Ochnik, Warsaw Genomics and Medical Inventi, Poland's PAP news agency reported.

Former Olympic cyclist Czesław Lang, who organises Poland’s largest cycling race, the Tour de Pologne, walked away with a special individual award during the ceremony at the Congress 590 business conference in Jasionka, southeastern Poland, on Monday.
