Forms of support for entrepreneurs

Poland offers a wide range of instruments supporting business development, from tax incentives to subsidies, grants, and preferential financing.

The support system is based on three main pillars:

  • Polish Investment Zone (PIZ)
  • European funds and national programs
  • Financial and capital instruments

Different forms of support can be combined, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the total cost of the investment.

Polish Investment Zone (PSI)

It is a support system for companies carrying out new investments in Poland, offering an exemption from income tax (CIT/PIT) for up to 15 years. The program covers the entire territory of the country, and decisions on support are issued by the companies managing special economic zones.

National programs and European funds

It is a key source of financing for investments in Poland, allowing the recovery of a significant portion of expenditures on development, production, and technologies.

Key programs:

For companies undertaking innovative investments and developing production (including technology implementation and automation)

Support for regional companies — particularly in the areas of development, modernization and local investments.

These programs support both large industrial projects and the development of local facilities — in the form of grants, tax breaks and preferential financing.

Financial and capital instruments

Grants

Non-refundable support that helps cover part of investment costs — from the purchase of machinery to the implementation of new technologies. It covers projects in the areas of innovation, digitization and the energy transition, effectively lowering the upfront cost of the investment.

Sources of funding: PARP, NCBR and institutions implementing European Funds programs.

Tax reliefs (R&D reliefs, IP Box, robotization)

Instruments that reduce income tax and increase the profitability of investments. They support research and development activities, the implementation of innovations, and the automation of processes within a company.

Sources of financing: tax system (Ministry of Finance, KAS)

Preferential loans and credits

Financing investments on terms more favorable than market ones — with lower interest rates, longer repayment periods, or the possibility of partial write-off. They complement grants and tax relief, enabling the implementation of larger projects.

Sources of funding: Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego and financial institutions cooperating within European Funds programs.
