Knowledge

In Polish administrative law, chambers of commerce are defined as public-law entities associating entrepreneurs, operating with governmental oversight, and distinguished by an economic, rather than territorial, bond. Internationally, there are typically four chamber models: continental, Anglo-saxon, mixed, and administrative. However, these categories do not accommodate sector-specific chambers, such as those mandatory in Polish agriculture or insurance. Poland’s sectoral model proposes specialized chambers for each industry, organized under an umbrella entity to enhance competence in policy discussions. The Polish Classification of Activities informs this taxonomy, dividing the economy into 21 sections. A gradual implementation of sectoral chambers is suggested, beginning with ready industries and considering administrative restructuring.

The 3rd International Conference of Chambers of Commerce is scheduled for 14-15 November 2024 in Warsaw, following the online 2nd Conference in 2023 which discussed business institutions’ impact on economic development, and the 1st in Łódź in 2022, where Poland’s Sectoral Model was introduced.
