Poland steady amid headwinds at EXPO REAL 2025

At this year’s EXPO REAL in Munich, Poland’s presence — led by Warsaw, Silesia, and Łódź — projected quiet resilience amid challenging conditions. While the broader European market continues to wrestle with high financing costs and a slow recovery in demand, sentiment toward Poland was measured but cautiously optimistic. It could have been worse.
Conversations at the Polish stands centered on logistics, industrial redevelopment, and adaptive reuse — areas where Poland continues to attract steady investor interest. Yet the elephant in the room remained the country’s geopolitical risk perception, with regional instability and regulatory uncertainty tempering enthusiasm.
Despite these concerns, Poland was viewed as a market with solid fundamentals, a skilled workforce, and long-term potential in manufacturing and logistics. EXPO REAL 2025 showed that while investors are selective, Poland still commands attention — if it can keep building confidence through stability and innovation.
