The “Poland: Open For Business Summit,” took place on June 21, 2022, and the main topic of conversation and discussion was the cost to the Polish economy of discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community in the country. The event was organized as part of the Equality Month of the Warsaw Equality Parade by Open For Business, with support from partners: Google, Deloitte, Responsible Business Forum (Forum Odpowiedzialnego Biznesu), Natwest Group in Poland and Rainbow Network.
During the meeting, three debates were held with the participation of economists, local government officials, representatives of business and NGOs who implement the values of diversity and inclusion through specific actions in the professional and personal areas. There was also a conversation about how open Polish companies are towards LGBTQ+ women and whether the national economy gives them a chance to fully realize their unique potential.
