First Event to Receive Support Under the New POT Programme
MIRCIM 2025 is the first event in Poland to receive funding through the Promotional Support Programme for Meetings and Events (PPWdSW). Launched on 15 February 2025 and coordinated by the Poland Convention Bureau of the Polish Tourism Organisation (PCB POT), this initiative aims to support external organisers of high-potential promotional events that help to position Poland as a prime destination for business and scientific gatherings.
The PPWdSW is part of a broader framework of support initiatives, which also includes the Recommended Professional Congress Organisers Programme, the Recommended Incentive Travel Organisers Programme, and the Polish Congress Ambassadors Programme. These initiatives collectively foster the development of Poland’s meetings industry and enhance the country’s competitiveness in the global MICE market.
