During the 34th Economic Forum in Karpacz, as every year, the Wroclaw Mayor's Awards were presented.

‘Four years ago, we decided to draw your attention to companies that not only focus on profit and build the economic fabric, but also build communities, their cohesion, and engage in sports, cultural, environmental and social activities’ emphasised Jacek Sutryk, Mayor of Wroclaw.
