The selection of Grupa MTP as the logistics partner and host of the event confirms Poznań’s status as a key center supporting the synergy between education and industry. MTP Poznań EXPO is the leader of the Polish trade fair industry and one of the most modern exhibition and congress centers in Central and Eastern Europe, supporting the development of Polish exports and innovation for many years.

Organized by the Foundation for the Development of the Education System, SkillsPoland is the national qualifying stage for WorldSkills, the world’s leading international vocational skills competition. The recurring competitions bring together thousands of participants and promote practical education as the foundation of professional and social success. This global initiative brings together more than 80 countries and has inspired millions of young people to develop their skills for over 70 years. As an active member of this community, Poland will select its national team during the finals in Poznań to compete against peers on the international stage.

- WorldSkills is more than a competition. It is a global platform connecting education and business. Choosing the space of MTP Poznań EXPO will allow us to create a world-class event where the passion of young people meets the latest industrial technologies, - said Filip Bittner, Vice President of the Management Board of Grupa MTP.

A total of 21 competition zones will be created within the Grupa MTP pavilions, where during the SkillsPoland 2026 finals young professionals will showcase their skills in key sectors of the economy, including construction, culinary arts, the IT industry, and future technologies.
