The outsourcing industry is the most booming branch of the Polish economy. Accordingly, the Outsourcing
Stars Gala aims to increase awareness of the underlying vast potential of our country in terms of attracting
foreign investment. Honoured by the presence of leading international outsourcing organisations, Poland is
proving to be a big player on the international outsourcing arena, and the gala has become a major industry
event - said Wiktor Doktór, President of the Pro Progressio Foundation, the organiser of The Grand
Outsourcing Stars Gala 2015.
