How Dutch companies contribute to the Polish economy

About the Report

The inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) into Poland remains one of the key factors supporting the country's economic growth. Investments originating from the Netherlands continue to rank among the largest foreign investments carried out in Poland. This report analyses sectors of particular importance to Dutch investors, including finance, information technology, logistics, real estate services, and retail trade.

Key Findings

  • Dutch companies consistently invest in sustainable development, focusing on climate protection, improving energy efficiency, and implementing modern energy technologies.
  • Industrial investments made by Dutch enterprises are often technologically advanced. Particularly prominent are the light electrical engineering industry and the food processing sector. Investments in the financial sector and shared services are also significant.
  • Both small and medium-sized Dutch investors, as well as large corporations, are successfully expanding their operations and reinvesting profits in Poland. Smaller companies effectively allocate capital, while larger entities continue to scale up their businesses.
  • Significant potential for further development of investment cooperation is seen in the energy sector. Investors are seeking new opportunities while also expecting stability and predictability in the government's energy policy.
  • One of the main challenges for business development in Poland remains unfavourable demographic trends and their impact on the labour market. In response to these developments, Dutch investors are increasing spending on digitalisation, automation, and technologies that enhance workforce productivity.
