INVESTMENTS IN POLAND

Poland is one of the most economically stable and fastest growing European countries. Its strong international position is confirmed by membership in such powerful international organizations as the European Union, World Trade Organization, UN, G20 and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Since 1997, Poland has also been a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Many foreign companies choose Poland as the target for investment for objective reasons:

Among other beneficial advantages important to be taken into account for investors and entrepreneurs who are considering investments and expansion of their business in Poland, it is important to mention the benefits that are subject to both Polish and European state aid legislation.

There are incentives for both the creation and operational stages of investments, including:

Moreover, the whole of Poland is an economic zone, thanks to which companies investing anywhere in the country can count on income tax exemption. The decision to support investments is made after certain criteria are met. In Poland, there are 14 special economic zones (SEZs), which provide special conditions for investors (exemption of up to 50% from corporate or property tax) if the investment project is located in an approved activity sector.

Investors and entrepreneurs don’t find it hard to solve the issue where to invest in Poland, since almost all sectors of the Polish market are open for business and offer attractive investment opportunities. For example, you can choose the day of investment in the service sector, manufacturing, food processing and agriculture, high-tech and specialized industries.

It is important to consider that some areas have special safety and quality requirements, such as periodic safety monitoring of food production and processing. While other areas require the obtaining of appropriate licences, for example, mining, trade in minerals and fuels, or public transport.

The public sector also provides investment opportunities for investors and entrepreneurs. All public procurement above a certain threshold must be organized through open tenders, allowing companies from across the EU to bid on the same terms as Polish companies, whether for the supply of goods or services. Moreover, investors can engage in various forms of public-private partnerships to provide public services (e. g., waste collection, energy supply, parks and recreation services), which often provide attractive investment opportunities.

The direct investment sector is promising for investors, since in Poland there are many well-known local brands, food or cosmetics manufacturers, whose products are in demand among consumers and will bring profit to a potential investor.

If you are interested in investing in any sector, Al-Watania Investment experts will contact you to provide detailed information. We provide comprehensive and effective support to foreign companies that wish to invest in Poland and seek to develop their business on the Polish and European markets.
