Invest in Poland: a practical guide for foreign companies
Poland combines access to the EU single market, technical talent and a public investment support system. We help you turn that into a concrete plan.
Foreign companies come to Poland for different reasons: a service or development centre, production closer to European clients, an acquisition, or a sales subsidiary for Central Europe. Each model has different consequences for structure, tax, hiring and financing.
Public support exists, such as the Polish Investment Zone and incentives for R&D, and a state investment and trade agency provides information to investors. Our job is to see what fits your project, set up the structure and coordinate the local advisers.

Frequently asked questions
Is there support for investing in Poland?
Yes, for example the Polish Investment Zone and R&D incentives. Conditions depend on the project and the location, and we review them case by case.
Does Poland use the euro?
No. The currency is the Polish złoty (PLN). Many companies invoice foreign clients in euros, but accounting and taxes are handled in złoty.
Can I buy an existing Polish company?
Yes. We then coordinate due diligence with local legal and tax advisers before the deal.
Which city is best for investment?
It depends on your sector, the talent you need and the incentives available. We compare options for your project.
