Advice to those considering investments in Poland

• Investigate major cities besides Warsaw that have international airports & excellent universities

• Remember to:– Select the right local person to get you through the start up

process– Select the right expat manager to build a best in class

organization– Introduce world class objectives and procedures immediately

(go for SEI Level 5 from day one)– Be prepared for the unexpected and build this into your

investment schedule (e.g. sudden economic downturns)– Don’t hesitate to ask government officials for help but go early– Be flexible/think win/win
