A stable economy, a good investment climate with respect to statutory solutions and a well-educated workforce - these are the advantages most often mentioned by foreign investors when it comes to Poland. In addition, a powerful internal market and easy access to Western European countries make Poland an attractive business partner.

The pandemic has forced us to look inward, to take better care of ourselves and each other. It was also a wake-up call concerning the impact of human activity on the world around us. We have renewed our quest for purpose in our personal and professional lives, too.

Current and projected high prices of oil and gas may herald a further increase in Poland’s trade with the Gulf States. Other factors conducive to this include positive results in the fight against the coronavirus epidemic in the region, macroeconomic stabilisation, good economic growth prospects and a growing number of Polish enterprises who are not afraid of expanding into these markets

The 21st century office is more than just a space. It eludes the simple definition of a common workplace as the achievements of digitisation allow for great independence and open up new possibilities of work organisation. As we provide office solutions for companies in Poland and across the region, especially during the pandemic, we can see the transition underway among local businesses.

Producing great content and empowering viewers by giving them the choice to watch what, where and when they like. This is the secret sauce of leading companies in the media industry, which has undergone a major technological revolution in recent years. With ground-breaking developments come new opportunities for the entire ecosystem of today’s redefined television.

The pandemic, which has lasted for almost two years, has highlighted the importance of partnerships that allow for the development of solutions that respond to emerging urgent health care needs. We do not need to look far for examples of such partnerships, as they have facilitated the development of vaccines and drugs to fight COVID-19.

COVID-19 has put unprecedented pressure on the entire healthcare system. This undeniably challenging time has forced physicians and medical directors to make rapid decisions and implement many far-reaching changes that were only a vision of the future just a few months ago.

As in other places across Europe, in Poland we have observed supercharged trends in planning offices compatible with a work style that involves greater mobility, a rotating remote work schedule, as well as collaborative workspaces adapted for interdisciplinary teams. Tenants no longer expect just four walls to be filled with desks; rather, they are looking for comprehensive consultancy on how to create an office fitting their needs that is positively received by employees, attracts talent, and supports their health and productivity

Every third consumer identifies themselves as a person who values the planet above everything else, 12% more than the global average, EY research shows. This is a major shift of focus within Poland, a leading emitter of carbon in the region. Polish companies, especially in the energy sector, are much less advanced on the path to a sustainable future. Innovative solutions will be the key to development in this area, and Poland has a long way to go: a world leader in manufacturing electric car batteries, Poland has attracted only 0.003% of venture capital funding for the sector. Companies need to abandon the idea of constant growth in favour of sustainable development if the idea is ever to be implemented. Author: Łukasz Zalicki, Managing Partner, EY Poland.

Poland is the fifth largest market in the European Union in terms of the number of new car registrations annually. Author: Pavel Šolc, CEO Volkswagen Group Polska.

The energy transition of the industry sector is inevitable and although we know it will bring tangible benefits to everyone in the long term, we still ask questions about the methods, pace, and possibilities of its implementation. Author: Jacek Chodkowski, General director Dalkia Poland Group.

An electrified and digitised world is one of the keys to solving issues that countries and economies face in relation to climate changes. We need smart electrification everywhere – within households and offices, industrial facilities, and transportation. Author: Jacek Łukaszewski, MEE Cluster President, Schneider Electric.

Imagine your life without steel. A kitchen without a cooker or a fridge. A living room without a TV set. Imagine staying in touch with your loved ones without a mobile phone or traveling to see them without a convenient means of transport – bikes, cars, trams, buses, trains. Imagine…

As we know, the sources of economic shocks are either inherently related to the economy (e.g. most stock market crashes, the subprime crisis over a decade ago) or completely external to it (e.g. a pandemic). Of course, any shock is a challenge, although the latter type is usually more surprising and thus much more difficult to manage. However, under all circumstances and whatever the nature of the difficulties, the flexibility of a modern, competitive and strong economy, including its adaptability, is admirable and a cause for optimism.
