The Ministry of State Assets has adopted a definition of local content that is “broad and flexible,” the ministry announced on Thursday. The idea is to increase the participation of Polish companies in key investments. MAP announced that the definition will be officially presented in early March.
As indicated by MAP in the announcement, adopting the definition of local content is a milestone and a foundation on which a new strategy to strengthen the participation of Polish companies in key investments carried out by State Treasury companies is to be based.
“Its structure is broad and flexible, so as to take into account the specificity of individual industries and not exclude any entities,” the ministry said.
The definition was developed by the Team for the Participation of the National Component in Key Investment Processes in cooperation with the Public Procurement Office, the Central Statistical Office and representatives of the economic community.
The Ministry announced that the adopted definition of local content will be officially presented on March 2 in Szczecin, during the 2nd Forum of Polish Wind Energy Suppliers “Energy from Poland – Local First”.
Wojciech Balczun, Minister of State Assets, informed in an interview with PAP at the beginning of February that the definition of local content and the method of its calculation are being agreed with the Central Statistical Office so that it can be included in annual reports and statistics. He noted that the ministry wants to create the best possible conditions for Polish enterprises, including the SME sector, to include them in supply chains, so that they can be real beneficiaries of large investment projects implemented in the most strategic industries.
In his opinion, the local content project was planned in a long-term perspective, spanning the next decades. – It will be a continuous process of learning and improvement (…). We will collect best practices, we will draw conclusions, we may underestimate some things, but we will always be ready to improve it as part of a dialogue with the market, he said.
The Team for the Participation of the Domestic Component in Key Investment Processes was established by order of the Minister of State Assets of October 8, 2025. Its task is to develop solutions that strengthen the participation of Polish enterprises in strategic investments carried out by State Treasury companies. (PAP)
