| The Center for Business Promotion
and Entrepreneurship(1) in Sandomierz , Poland was
founded in 1991 by ,TechnoServe
a U.S. nongovernmental organization, and Senator
Zbigniew Romaszewski, who then represented
this rural part of southeast Poland. Our early programs
concentrated on agribusiness development. But in response
to rapidly evolving local needs we expanded into general
business development as well as into public sector economic
and development planning.
The mission and principal goal of the
Center is to improve existing businesses, create new businesses
and employment, and develop sustainable sources of income
for rural communities in southeast Poland. The Center
focuses on helping individuals and communities harness
private enterprise and democratic principles as a means
to sustainable economic and social development.
Our highest priority is to provide exceptional service
to meet our clients' needs.The Center's highly qualified
staff provides consulting, training services and technical
assistance to small and medium-sized businesses, entrepreneurs,
farmers, local governments, rural youth and organizations.
We create and offer open training and regularly scheduled
courses and custom-designed training programs in the Hotel
Basztowy, our state-of-the-art training and - conference
facility, build by the Center in 2002 in cooperation with
American organizations.
The Center holds PN-EN ISO 9001:2001certification in the provision of training and advisory services.
(1)The
original name of the foundation remains the Center for
Promotion and Support of Agricultural Enterprise. Recently
the Center received official approval to use the more
descriptive name: the Center for Business Promotion and
Entrepreneurship.
