Why Poland?
Poland’s GDP growth doubled in 2010 to reach 3.8%. Recent GDP projections for 2011 are for continued expansion of about 4.0%. Poland’s strong economic performance was fueled by high export output, individual consumption and increased business investment. Over the medium term, growth will be generated by domestic demand and infrastructure spending.
Poland’s eight leading industry sectors include: aerospace & defense, automotive, energy & power generation, environmental technologies, information & communications technologies, medical & pharmaceutical, safety & security and travel & tourism.
