‘Pillars of the Polish Economy’ are prestigious awards highlighting companies that significantly contribute to the development of their respective regions. The awards are presented to the most important employers in each province. The participants are companies which support and promote employment, contribute to the development of entrepreneurship, and engage in initiatives that benefit local communities. The winners are selected by representatives of the local authorities, who, having first-hand experience with the development of local business and economy, single out the companies that deserve to be honoured with the award.
