Polish presidency of the EU Council 2025. A new era for business travel

Since the beginning of January 2025, Poland has taken over the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. This event goes far beyond the boundaries of politics and diplomacy - it is a time when business trips take on a new dimension. In the coming months, we will have more trips than usual - foreign delegations will be on the agenda. There will also be dynamic business meetings and new challenges. Finance departments are already looking for effective solutions because the settlement of delegations will become their daily routine. Let's take a look at how this dynamic period will affect business trips and why business trips during this time may be different from usual.

Poland in the spotlight of Europe

Imagine Warsaw – vibrant, full of people from all over the world. Conference rooms, hotels, and restaurants are filled with conversations about business and the future of Europe. However, foreign delegations are not limited to Poland. Brussels, as an important point on the map and the center of EU decisions, attracts entrepreneurs from all over Europe, offering new opportunities for developing international contacts.

Fun fact: Did you know that Brussels is not only the seat of the European Commission and the Council of the EU, but also a place famous for its delicious waffles? During a business trip, it is worth taking a moment to stroll through the Grand Place, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or visit the Atomium, an icon of 20th-century architecture.

New challenges for companies and sustainable business travel

During the presidency, effective organization of business trips becomes particularly important. A larger number of trips means more documents, cost estimates, and reports, as well as a more complicated settlement of delegations. However, technology can make these processes invisible. Thanks to automation, the worktrips.com tool simplifies the settlement of delegations, minimizes the risk of errors, and optimizes costs. When preparing for a trip to Brussels, it is worth remembering that Zaventem Airport is perfectly connected to the city center. It takes only 20 minutes by train.

And what about ESG teams, which are increasingly responsible for sustainable practices in companies? The presidency is a great time to implement responsible solutions - choosing sustainable transport options, such as trains instead of planes on shorter routes, can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of travel. Such actions have a real impact on the environment and are increasingly important in the eyes of business partners.

Not just obligations – bleisure at your fingertips

Increased business travel does not have to mean giving up pleasure. In 2025, Poland will be tempted not only with effective event organization but also with a rich cultural and tourist offer. Imagine a business lunch in the center of Gdańsk, after which the meeting participants go for a short walk on the beach. Or an evening in Kraków, where after an all-day conference you can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of charming cafes. The worktrips.com system supports the possibility of extending your stay, e.g., for a weekend. You can easily adjust the dates of flights and accommodation, helping you combine duties with a moment of relaxation. After all, who said that a business trip is just work?
