Polish Business Council in Dubai

What Polish Business Council in Dubai does

The Polish Business Council in Dubai is a non-profit business association founded in February 2024 and licensed under Dubai Chambers, the governmental chamber of commerce for the emirate. It operates as one of more than 50 country-specific business councils within the Dubai Chambers umbrella, alongside over 30 sector-specific business groups. The Council's purpose is to unite Polish companies, entrepreneurs, founders, freelancers, and professionals based in the UAE; promote Polish brands and expertise in the Gulf region; and act as a bridge between Polish businesses and local UAE entities seeking Polish partnerships, distribution, or expertise.

Its core offering is a tiered annual membership program with four price points: Silver (AED 500) for UAE-based individual professionals; Gold (AED 1,500) for individuals or small UAE companies; Platinum (AED 7,500) for medium and large UAE corporates; and Offshore (AED 20,000) for non-UAE-based individuals and companies. Benefits scale by tier and include event discounts, complimentary event tickets, publications on the Council website, social media introductions, member directory listings with logo and web link, and voting rights at the General Assembly. As a non-profit, all revenue is reinvested into member activities. There is no proprietary technology platform; the Council distributes value through events, workshops, seminars, social gatherings, inter-council meetings, webinars, and sponsorship opportunities, with marketing handled primarily via LinkedIn, Instagram, a website blog, and email newsletters.

The Council is governed by an elected board of eight, led by Chairwoman Weronika Tomaszewska-Collins and Vice-Chairman Bartosz Pietruszka, and is supported by an MoU with TECOM Group (signed October 2023). Operationally, it is run by approximately 5 staff and targets the over 6,000 Polish residents of the UAE. Its go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, relying on word-of-mouth, member referrals, and exclusive access to Dubai Chambers events for member acquisition and retention.
