The meeting at the presidential palace in Warsaw took place hours before Karol Nawrocki’s departure for Davos, where he is expected to promote Poland’s economy and its internationally successful firms.
Nawrocki said he intends to use his term in office to support Polish business and promote companies that contribute to the country’s economic development, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.
It said among those attending were executives from several Polish firms whose brands are widely recognised across Europe, including construction chemicals producer Selena Group, food conglomerate Maspex and mobile payments operator Polski Standard Płatności.
Dariusz Mazurkiewicz, head of Polski Standard Płatności, said Poland could be proud of its digital payments sector, adding that cashless payments are now widely available across Europe and are used daily by Polish consumers.
He said the company’s Blik instant payment system has become a global market leader over the past decade, a position he said no other European firm has achieved in the sector.
Ambassadors from G20 countries also attended the meeting, the IAR news agency reported.
Poland has been invited to take part in a G20 summit to be hosted by US President Donald Trump in Miami later this year.
This year's World Economic Forum opened on Monday under the theme “A Spirit of Dialogue.”
