Reform Institute is launching a new series of comprehensive analyses tracking progress on the key demands of Polish companies and industry associations set out in the Pact for Polish Industry. The Quarterly Monitoring of Polish Industrial Transformation<\/em> highlights the areas where Poland has made progress in supporting industrial transformation, and where changes are proceeding too slowly or not at all.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

The first quarter of this year saw a significant acceleration in European countries\u2019 efforts to develop clean industry. In France, the winning projects were selected under the \u2018Grands Projets Industriels de D\u00e9carbonation\u2019 programme, which offers grants for large-scale facilities, with the level of support contingent on CO2 emission reductions. By the end of the year, these projects will receive as much as \u20ac1.6 billion in public funding. Good practices are also emerging from Germany and Greece, where mechanisms based on CISAF (Clean Industrial State Aid Framework) are being applied to develop domestic cleantech solutions. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, CISAF-based solutions have already been implemented in countries where over 70% of European industry is\u00a0located. Unfortunately, Poland is\u00a0lagging behind\u00a0in this area, which puts us at risk of losing competitiveness and seeing investment flow to other parts of Europe.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cQuarterly Monitoring of Polish Industrial Transformation 1\/2026. Delayed Start in\u00a0the European Race\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0opens a new series of cross-sectional analyses of progress in implementing the main demands of Polish companies and industrial associations set out in the Pact for Polish Industry<\/a>. In it, we show in which areas of support for industrial transformation Poland has managed to make progress, and where changes are\u00a0proceeding\u00a0too slowly or not at all.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first quarter of 2026 showed that in the race to build a clean industry, Poland is still in the starting blocks. Companies are waiting for concrete details from the government regarding the announced industrial transformation strategy. Meanwhile, solutions under the new CISAF state aid rules have already been implemented by countries accounting for over 70 per cent of European industry, including key economies such as Germany, France and Italy. Poland \u2013 as an economy aspiring to a permanent place in the G20 and a country deriving 20 per cent of its GDP from industry \u2013 should be among the nations setting the pace for European industrial transformation. The greatest risk for Poland is not decarbonisation, but passivity in creating tools to support the transition. \u201cIf the Polish government does not speed up the implementation of mechanisms to finance the development of clean industry based on the new European state aid rules, we risk a decline in the country\u2019s investment attractiveness and an outflow of new projects to other EU countries that are acting more swiftly – comments Aleksander \u015aniegocki, President of the Reform Institute.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The authors of the Quarterly point out that since the start of this year, no breakthrough has been achieved in Poland across any of the seven pillars\u00a0of the Pact:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
