What Polskie Towarzystwo Wspierania Przedsiebiorczosci does

Polskie Towarzystwo Wspierania Przedsiębiorczości (PTWP) is a publicly listed Polish B2B media and events group headquartered in Katowice, founded in 1995. The company operates an integrated business communications platform built around three pillars: a network of 17+ specialized vertical internet portals (including dlahandlu.pl, Farmer.pl, wnp.pl, RynekZdrowia.pl, PulsHR.pl, PropertyNews.pl, and PortalSpożywczy.pl) covering sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, food industry, retail, commercial real estate, HR, local government, cybersecurity, mining, and energy; a portfolio of print magazines (Farmer, Rynek Zdrowia, Rynek Spożywczy); and a calendar of major professional conferences and trade fairs, headlined by the Europejski Kongres Gospodarczy (EEC) — the largest business event in Central Europe — along with CYBERSEC EXPO & FORUM, Future Mining Forum & Expo, Energy Days, 4 Design Days, and Forum Rynku Zdrowia.

The underlying technology consists of conventional vertical content portals, industry-specific email newsletters (12+ properties reaching 300,000 recipients), and physical venue infrastructure comprising the wholly-owned Międzynarodowe Centrum Kongresowe (MCK) and Spodek halls in Katowice. Distribution is reinforced by a social media footprint of 1.2 million followers and an annual audience of 30 million portal users and 70,000 event participants.

Revenue is generated through four streams: (1) advertising and sponsored content across the vertical portal and newsletter network; (2) event organization, including ticket sales, sponsorships, and exhibition fees from 10+ recurring conferences; (3) venue rental and event services at MCK and Spodek; and (4) print magazine subscriptions. The company serves B2B professional audiences in their respective industries, with advertisers and sponsors drawn from companies seeking targeted reach into Polish-speaking professional verticals. The company is listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (stock price disclosed at 138.00 PLN), and shareholders approved a 9.5 million PLN dividend in June 2026.
