ARP has new president

Aleksandra Magaczewska has been appointed president of the state-run Industrial Development Agency (ARP), which invests into strategic sectors of the Polish economy. Before she was chosen for the current position by ARP’s general meeting, Magaczewska was director of the Department of Restructuring and State Aid at the Ministry of State Treasury. One of the duties was to supervise ARP. Magaczewska will be responsible for preparing the agency’s strategy for 2014-2020. She said that the new plan would emphasize innovation, though state aid and restructuring would still remain important aspects of ARP’s activity.
