‘Poland’s Economic Promotion Policy’ adopted by the Council of Ministers
11.02.2025
Strengthening the competitiveness of the Polish economy, increasing its level of internationalisation, and supporting Polish exporters – these are among the objectives set out in the document ‘Poland’s Economic Promotion Policy’ adopted by the Council of Ministers. The policy was prepared by the MEDT with the involvement of social partners.
‘Poland’s Economic Promotion Policy’, developed by the MEDT, is a document outlining the foundations for expanding the presence of the Polish economy in global markets. The actions planned until 2030 will focus on:
- increasing the internationalisation of Polish enterprises (including the number of exporters and foreign investors, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises – SMEs);
- increasing the share of non-EU countries in Polish exports and investments, while further strengthening economic relations with EU member states;
- ensuring the consistent upward movement of Poland within global value chains, particularly in innovative industries and at key stages of production;
- increasing the share of highly processed goods and high-tech products in Polish exports;
- growing the number and value of foreign investments undertaken by Polish companies.
Main assumptions
The document provides for improved coordination and coherence of activities promoting the Polish economy abroad through the establishment of an inter-ministerial team under the Minister of Economic Development and Technology. The team will define export and investment priorities, coordinate efforts between central and regional levels, facilitate consultations with entrepreneurs, and coordinate the development of support instruments for businesses.
The policy adopted by the Council of Ministers identifies prospective markets in terms of developing Polish exports. It also envisages the need to plan or adapt instruments supporting the development and promotion of exports in response to changing conditions in foreign markets. An important role in this regard will be played by optimising the location of Foreign Trade Offices.
A key element will be the promotion of the Polish Economy Brand and fifteen key sectors, such as construction, ICT, green technologies, the cosmetics industry, and the aerospace and space sectors.
Improvements to the export information system are also planned, including modernisation of the www.trade.gov.pl portal and the creation of an ‘exporter development pathway’ providing comprehensive support for entrepreneurs at various stages of internationalisation.
The ‘Poland’s Economic Promotion Policy’ approved by the government also highlights the importance of synergy between trade and science through cooperation between research institutes and export support institutions.
