The closest equivalent of Mateusz Morawiecki's economic program is currently the “Powered by Poland” report, presented on March 6, 2026 and published on the Work Team for Poland website. What does it contain?
The Work for Poland Team is a PiS program initiative launched in January 2024, aimed at analyzing and creating economic and social proposals as part of opposition activities. The team's work is led by former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.

Mateusz Morawiecki founded the association. This is his idea for the economy
As we read in the report, the “Powered by Poland” strategy is a program to build a strong, resource-based national economy in which Polish companies are technology owners, system integrators and beneficiaries of added value – and not only contractors of orders placed in foreign headquarters.
“It is a project of transition from a model of a dependent market economy to a model of a sovereign economy, capable of accumulating capital, know-how and intellectual property,” we read further.
Six pillars of the Polish economy according to Mateusz Morawiecki
The report describes six pillars of this strategy:
Firstly – mobilization of domestic capital and overcoming the barrier of investment caution.
“Poland has PLN 3.6 trillion in private savings, and at the same time the level of investment remains below the EU average,” we read.
Key instruments:
— IP Box+ – 4 percent CIT/PIT for five years for new technologies, AI, patents and solutions developed and registered in Poland. Intellectual property is to stay in the country.
— Super-relief 200 percent for robotization, automation and AI – double deduction of implementation, hardware and software costs.
·— Extended R&D relief also including prototypes, pilots and industrial implementations.
— Refund for startups (up to 40 percent R&D costs quarterly) – improving the liquidity of young technology companies.
— Employment relief technological talents and incentives for returning specialists
— Repayable investment reliefs related to the effects: increase in exports, new jobs, increase in Polish added value.
— State guarantee system for high-risk projects in strategic sectors.
Secondly – nationalization of the public procurement stream.
“State Treasury companies, even if they are not formally subject to the full regime of public procurement law, should introduce a clear principle in their purchasing regulations: maximizing the share of Polish capital and shortening supply chains to the national level. This is an element of the state's ownership responsibility,” we read.
“Defense spending reaching 4-5% of GDP cannot be solely the purchase of ready-made equipment from abroad. It must become a driving force for the dual-use, electronics, AI, automation and advanced materials sectors,” we read further.
Thirdly – cheap and stable energy as the foundation of competitiveness.
— Reducing energy costs for the production sector by at least 30%,
— A revision and deep reform of the EU ETS system, which today significantly increases production costs in Europe.
— Special Energy Zones for energy-intensive industries – with guaranteed, stable energy prices based on long-term contracts.
— Contracts for Difference (CfD/CCfD) stabilizing energy prices for companies investing in low-emission sources and their own generation capacity.
— Development of nuclear energy, SMR and domestic renewable energy sources as sources of stable, predictable and price-competitive energy.
— Support for industrial PPAs and investments in energy storage and energy efficiency.
Fourth – radical acceleration of administrative and judicial procedures.
Fifthly – redefining investment policy.
Sixthly, Defense industry: from security to the pillar of the economy
“To sum up, at the heart of this strategy is a clear thesis: it is not enough to generate high GDP – you need to build national resources,” we read in the report.
