PHM Hotels and Panorama JTB collaborated with the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH) to hold the 5th Poland Festival on 8 November 2024, at THE 1O1 Jakarta Sedayu Darmawangsa, a hotel under PHM Hotels. This event is the largest Polish cultural and trade exhibition in ASEAN, which aims to bolster Polish-Indonesian relations via dynamic technological, educational and industrial programs.
The Poland Festival fosters mutual understanding and partnership by activities that connect all sorts of individuals and collectives -from government officials to the Indonesia public. For this fifth edition, the festival has over 500,000 people participating as one of the widest Indonesian initiatives by an EU country.
At Poland Festival 2024, Chef Marcin and Chef Mariusz from Poland, and Chef Yoel and Chef Farah from THE 1O1 Jakarta Sedayu Darmawangsa hosted a collaborative cooking class where they demonstrated the fusing of Polish and Indonesian ingredients and techniques into signature dishes. Polish culture performances and exhibitions were also featured at the event.
The beverage sponsor for Poland Festival 2024 was PT. Jaddi Internasional, with their own vision of uplifting the country’s wine market. As such, they were pleased to support this event of cultural exchange and celebration by providing an eclectic fine wine selection to go with the culinary experiences.
“This festival represents the strong, shared commitment of Poland and Indonesia to deepen ties across cultural and economic dimensions,” said Jacek Kolomyjec, Head of PAIH in Jakarta. “We are thrilled to see how this platform is empowering both nations to achieve significant growth and mutual understanding.” Mr. Budi Tirtawisata, Group CEO of Panorama Group, also stated that through this collaboration, they hoped to introduce the rich Polish culture to the Indonesian people and promote Indonesian tourism to the world.
From humble beginnings as a 3-day event in 2019, the Poland Festival has evolved into a strong medium for the support of Polish-Indonesian relations. As such, it continues to pave the way for deeper collaboration and shared prosperity.
