The European Investment Bank (EIB) Group signed a record €8 billion in new financing in Poland in 2025, marking the highest annual investment in more than 30 years of operations in the country. The funding supported over 100 projects worth €22.8 billion—equivalent to 2.5% of Poland’s GDP—focused on strengthening energy security, upgrading transport infrastructure and enhancing technological competitiveness.
Climate and environmental financing more than doubled compared to the previous year, reaching €5.5 billion. A significant share—€2 billion—was allocated to offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea, making the EIB the largest financier of Poland’s offshore wind expansion. Projects supported include developments by Polska Grupa Energetyczna and Ørsted, as well as other major energy partnerships. Once operational, these offshore wind farms are expected to generate nearly 10% of Poland’s electricity by 2030. The bank also signed a €520 million agreement to expand onshore renewable energy production.
Transport and regional infrastructure received €2.9 billion in financing, including a record €2.6 billion dedicated to road and rail upgrades such as sections of the S17 and S74 expressways and key railway links in south-eastern Poland. Urban development projects in cities including Gdańsk, Szczecin and Lublin also received backing, supporting sustainable local infrastructure and economic growth.
Through its innovation-focused programmes, the EIB supported technology companies, research institutions and manufacturers. The European Investment Fund (EIF), in partnership with Poland’s national development bank BGK, launched the PLN 1.5 billion Future Tech Poland fund to strengthen the venture capital ecosystem. Financing also expanded access to capital for more than 41,000 small and medium-sized enterprises, supporting over 500,000 jobs nationwide.
In early 2026, the EIB signed additional agreements to support agriculture, rural development and defence industry capabilities, reinforcing Poland’s economic resilience and strategic security. Since beginning operations in the country, the EIB Group has provided more than €100 billion in total financing, positioning it as one of Poland’s most significant long-term investment partners.
