Poland’s Morawiecki Plan
Poland’s government has in fact clearly set out its economic policy
direction in what has come to be known as the ‘Morawiecki Plan’.
Apart from re-industrialization, the plan gives priority to support
for innovative companies, to digitalization, and to greater development
of foreign markets. Under the plan, Poland also wants to
remain an attractive destination for foreign direct investment, while
at the same time encouraging private domestic investment. Digitalization
of Poland’s manufacturing processes is certainly proceeding
rapidly, with digital manufacturing technology accounting for
4.1 % of the nation’s GDP in 2015. Moreover, the Polish government
is actively supporting the process of economic digitization with an
extensive program of financing options for the R&D sector. Another
core focus of Poland’s overall economic strategy is energy. The
renewable portion of the country’s total energy mix currently sits at
just 7 % but is prioritized for expansion.
Around 150 Polish companies will exhibit on about 43,000 sq. ft. of
display space spread across all of Hannover Messe’s 7 constituent
trade shows. The Partner Country showcase will comprise themespecific
group pavilions in many of Hannover Messe exhibition
halls. For instance, NCBR, the National Center for Research and
Development, will be running a pavilion at the Research & Technology
show in Hall 2. Meanwhile, the Polish government’s central
pavilion will be in Hall 3. This is the heart of the showcase and will
feature group presentations by ten of the country’s provinces. There
will also be Polish group pavilions dedicated to industrial subcontracting
(Hall 4), the foundry industry (Hall 5/6), electrical engineering
(Hall 13), heating and cooling supply technology (Hall 27)
and electric transportation (open-air site).
