PAIH reports record half
In H1 2025, the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH) supported 21 investment projects worth €2.4 billion, generating over 2,500 planned jobs—the best half-year result in its history. Previously, the €1 billion threshold was only surpassed in early 2014, 2020, and 2021.
The majority of the investment value (€2.37 billion) came from 13 manufacturing projects, while eight service-oriented deals contributed €10 million. Notably, the latter created more jobs (1,344 vs. 1,220), reflecting how automation is reducing labor demand in production sectors.
The leading investors by capital were from the U.S. and China, but Polish firms topped the list by project count with five. “This shows the growing maturity and ambition of Polish business,” said PAIH Vice President Paweł Pudłowski.
Masovia attracted the most projects (five), followed by West Pomerania, Łódź, Silesia, and Lesser Poland (two each). PAIH operates under the Polish Development Fund and supports both foreign and domestic investments.
