Polish Day
Polish Day which will take place on 28 June in Park Cinquentaire in Brussels, marks the end of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union. All regions, including Wielkopolska, will present their potential and tourist and culinary offer at specially prepared stands. Everyone is invited to join the celebration and discover Poland!
The event is co-organised by the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Brussels, the Permanent Representation of the Republic of Poland to the EU and the "Sztabki" organisation in cooperation with Polish regions. Polish Day is sponsored by Orlen, Allegro and LOT Polish Airlines.
The programme includes artistic performances, tastings of traditional Polish dishes, workshops, handicraft shows, as well as themed areas - family, educational and culinary, and activities for children and adults on the music stage. It also features concerts by Polish music stars: the Mazowsze Folk Song and Dance Ensemble (at 5 p.m.) and Golec uOrkiestra (at 8 p.m.).
Discover Wielkopolska at the Polish Day!
We cordially invite you to visit the Wielkopolska stand during the Polish Day in Brussels! This is a unique opportunity to discover the cultural richness and traditions of one of Poland's largest regions.
At our stand, you will have the chance to taste local specialities prepared by the Hyćka Restaurant from Poznań - potatoes with cottage cheese, the famous St. Martin's croissants, refreshing elderberry juice and other regional specialities.
The atmosphere will be enriched by the sounds of hits of Polish and European pop music performed by the First Poznań Non-Symphonic Ukulele Orchestra. The band is composed of true enthusiasts who have been seduced by the distinctive sound and dainty size of the Hawaiian guitar, commonly known as the ukulele.
The Wielkopolska Tourist Organisation will present the tourist and economic potential of our region. You will be able to explore the Wielkopolska region's rich tourist offer and admire regional handicrafts.
There will also be presentations of innovative projects by the Poznań University of Technology in the fields of robotics, aeronautics and space technology. Bulk of these developments, including rocket tests, is being undertaken at the modern University Campus in Kąkolewo where infrastructure for space monitoring is located.
Representatives of the student research club PUT Rocketlab specialising in supersonic sounding rockets will also present its rocket at the Wielkopolska stand. It is the first student organisation in the world to design, build, and test a turbopump for a rocket engine.
We cordially invite you to participate and discover what makes Wielkopolska such a unique place on the map of Poland!

The Hydrogen Valleys Summit is a platform to discuss what is now and what lies ahead on the topic of hydrogen policy, to share experiences from projects such as hydrogen valleys and how to finance hydrogen projects, and much more.

Marco Reuter
Acting Deputy Director of the Representation of the State of Hessen to the EU
Poland took over the EU Council Presidency from Hungary on January 1, 2025 under the motto "Security, Europe!". Aspects of security are set to guide the presidency across seven areas of action: defense, protection of people and borders, resistance to foreign interference, economic policy, energy, agriculture, and health. This presidency takes place in a time of significant geopolitical challenges – the war in Ukraine and the situation in the Middle East remain at the top of the political agenda for 2025. At the same time, discussions about the next EU Multiannual Financial Framework and the reduction of bureaucracy are intensifying. Poland’s presidency will also be shaped by political events - the Polish presidential election in May, as well as the change in the U.S. administration. What are the key priorities of Poland's program, and what challenges will the new presidency face in the first half of 2025? We will try to answer these and other questions during the joint event organized by the two partner regions, Hessen and Wielkopolska.
