Polish Companies on International Markets

The volume of sales of goods manufactured by Polish companies to foreign countries is continually growing. This is the third year in a row with a surplus of exports over imports. Most Polish enterprises enter the international market with typical commercial exchange.

Some of them undertake more advanced forms of cooperation, such as subcontracting, cooperation within B+R or joint venture. To keep up with the Polish companies from countries with strong international business relations, institutional changes are being introduced.

Among other things, the Polish Investment and Trade Agency and a new network of foreign commercial outposts were created. It was adjusted to the needs of our enterprises and the direction the world economy is developing. The goal is to increase the quality of service and volume of assets for pro-export and investment actions.

Non-refundable assets are available within EU Funds. Eastern Poland and regional programs offer subsidies for developing and realization of plans for conquering foreign markets.

There are trainings and workshops available, the purpose of which is taking good advantage of participation in trade fairs and business missions. Polish Companies may also count on developing a new business model and assistance in preparing the products from the marketing and formal point of view to the requirements of the country they want to sell to, e.g. obtaining the necessary permits or certificates.

Services of specialized advisors are also available. There are e.g. Investor and Exporter Service Centres across the country where you may order reports on selected countries and industries.
