Team Poland aims for global market expansion with integrated support system

Poland is implementing a systemic approach to support its companies in global expansion, mirroring strategies used by developed nations. The initiative, dubbed "Team Poland," aims to create a unified mechanism for financing, guarantees, insurance, consulting, and market intelligence, consolidating services previously sought separately by businesses.

This integrated model, developed by PFR TFI, KUKE, and PwC, addresses the challenges Polish entrepreneurs face in international markets, such as protectionism, local production requirements, and complex supply chains. Unlike fragmented support systems, Team Poland offers a "one-stop shop" for businesses seeking to compete on the global stage.

The initiative is designed to equip Polish firms with the resources needed to build a lasting presence abroad, not just in neighboring Ukraine but also in Western Europe, the United States, and key industrial sectors. The program provides access to solutions that have long been standard in Western countries, enhancing Polish companies' competitiveness.

Early successes of Team Poland are already evident, with companies like PESA, VIGO, Mewo, and Euvic demonstrating global reach. PESA Bydgoszcz, for instance, is acquiring a German tram manufacturer, HeiterBlick GmbH, with financial backing from Polish development institutions. This acquisition is expected to strengthen PESA's position in demanding European markets and provide access to local expertise and client relationships.
