Łódź Special Economic Zone New Year meeting

The event took place on 15 January 2026.

About the event

The Łódź SEZ New Year Meeting gathered investors, partners and business support institutions from the Łódź region at Fabryka Grohmana. The evening summed up 2025 and presented the directions of the Zone's development in 2026, and its highlight was the Grohman Awards gala, presented by the Łódź SEZ since 2012 to people and companies that invest in people, the development of the region, culture and social initiatives. In the "Important for Łódź" category the statuette went to Tomasz Bęben, Director of the Łódź Philharmonic and creator of the "Kolory Polski" festival, and in the "Business Development 2025" category to SnackLab from Bełchatów. In line with its annual practice, the Łódź SEZ donated 10 percent of its income from Partner Zone fees to charity: a symbolic cheque for the Łódź team of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOŚP) was handed over by Marcin Majewski, Chair of the Supervisory Board. The evening closed with networking and a performance by Magdalena Wasylik, a finalist of "Must Be the Music" and "The Voice of Poland".

How it looked
