I attach great importance to economic relations with the United States. I am glad that Poland is the main recipient of American investments in Central and Eastern Europe. As much as 40 percent of the total capital invested by American companies in this region is located in our country - said Deputy Minister of Development and Technology Grzegorz Piechowiak.

 

American investments in Poland were and still are an important element of the modernization of the Polish economy. They ensure the preservation of existing jobs and the creation of new ones. They enable the introduction of new technologies and know-how.  We encourage American companies to further investments in our country - added the Deputy Minister.

The meeting with Deputy Minister Grzegorz Piechowiak was attended by representatives of several American companies, including such as: IBM, Jacobs, Raytheon Technologies,Lockheed Martin or Oxbow Energy.

Polish-American business relations

The Polish-American Business Council is a non-governmental institution based in Washington, DC. It brings together American companies interested in doing business in the Polish market (primarily investors). It supports bilateral economic cooperation, both trade and investment, by organizing events, missions and meetings in the United States (mainly in Washington DC) and in Poland.

The Council organises annual economic missions to Poland, during which meetings are held with Polish authorities. On the occasion of the 2018 mission, a Polish-American Economic Summit was organised with the participation of the Prime Minister, the President of the Republic of Poland and members of the leadership of the MDT.
