As one of Europe’s fastest-growing economies, Poland continues to offer significant opportunities for Swedish companies. Strong domestic demand, a large industrial base, improving infrastructure, and continued investment linked to EU funding make Poland an attractive market across sectors.
At the same time, companies describe a business environment where administrative and regulatory complexity continues to create operational challenges. Corporate taxation, labour market regulations, licences and permits, and customs procedures remain key concerns for many companies operating in the market.
Cooperation between Sweden and Poland continues to deepen across sectors such as industrial equipment, construction, healthcare, infrastructure, energy, and advanced manufacturing. Poland’s ongoing investments in infrastructure, digitalisation, defence, and energy transition continue to create opportunities for Swedish companies offering efficient and high-value solutions.
Competitiveness in Poland is strongly linked to cost efficiency, sales competence, customer collaboration, and partnerships. The Swedish brand remains a valuable asset and continues to be associated with quality, reliability, innovation, and long-term business engagement.
Poland is widely regarded as a stable and attractive market with strong operational conditions, solid infrastructure, and high levels of personal safety.

ABOUT THE SURVEY
To assess the opportunities and challenges faced by Swedish companies in international markets, Team Sweden conducts annual Business Climate Surveys across multiple markets worldwide. This year’s survey in Poland includes responses from 56 Swedish companies operating in the country. Industrial companies represent the largest share of respondents, while professional services and consumer companies also make up a significant share. The majority of respondents have been active in Poland for more than five years.
We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all participating companies and respondents who contributed to this report. Team Sweden in Poland hopes that the findings will serve as a basis for continued dialogue with Polish authorities and other relevant stakeholders.
