How IGPA came to be

The Polish–Azerbaijani Chamber of Commerce (IGPA) is an institutional platform established to build real and sustainable cooperation between the business communities of both countries. Our mission is not limited to organizing meetings and events, but to bringing companies together, promoting investment and trade, and implementing initiatives focused on concrete, measurable results.

10 October 2025

The founding meeting

On a Friday in Warsaw, Bilge Europe, Zetas, and Financial Chain Corporation convened to formally establish the founding committee of the Polish-Azerbaijani Chamber of Commerce — IGPA.

The Polish-Azerbaijani trade relationship has been quietly growing for over a decade. Polish engineering firms operating in Baku. Azerbaijani investors entering the Warsaw market. Energy partnerships, agricultural exchange, logistics corridors stretching across Türkiye and the Middle Corridor.

What was missing was a chamber of commerce — a single, well-governed institution where companies from both sides could find each other, advocate for their interests, and access the legal, commercial, and diplomatic infrastructure they need.

We are not building a club. We are building commercial infrastructure — for the businesses who will define the next decade of Polish-Azerbaijani trade.

On 10 October 2025, IGPA's founding committee met in Warsaw. The four founding companies — engineering, consulting, industrial trade, and financial outsourcing — represented the breadth of bilateral commerce.

By early 2026, the chamber had grown to 28 founding members spanning 12 industry sectors, with active business operations in Poland, Azerbaijan, Türkiye, Georgia, Central Asia, and the wider EU. The First General Assembly is scheduled for February 2026 in Warsaw.

This is the chamber that Polish-Azerbaijani business has been waiting for. It is operational. It is professional. And it is open for membership.

01
Our mission

What we do

To strengthen and develop economic cooperation between Poland and Azerbaijan by building a professional, well-governed institutional platform that serves the operational needs of member enterprises in both markets.

We connect companies. We facilitate trade. We represent member interests before public institutions. And we equip our members with the legal, commercial, and intelligence resources they need to compete.

  • Connect Polish & Azerbaijani enterprises directly
  • Facilitate trade missions, B2B events & introductions
  • Advocate before PAIH, AZPROMO & public institutions
  • Provide legal, regulatory & market intelligence

Our vision

Where we're going

By 2030, IGPA aims to be the leading bilateral chamber of commerce between Central Europe and the South Caucasus — recognized as the institutional reference point for Polish-Azerbaijani business.

We see a future where every serious enterprise considering cross-border activity between Poland and Azerbaijan engages with IGPA first — for guidance, for connections, for credibility.

  • 100+ member companies by 2027
  • Annual Caspian Business Forum as flagship event
  • Permanent Baku representation by 2027
  • Recognized institutional partner of state agencies
