Poland-Qatar investment is gaining momentum as both nations explore new avenues for economic and commercial cooperation. The initiative aims to strengthen trade ties and attract foreign investment, particularly in energy and tourism.
Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to Qatar, Tomasz Sadziński, highlighted the growing opportunities during the recently held Poland-Qatar Investment Forum in Doha. He noted that the long-standing energy partnership remains the backbone of bilateral trade.
“Poland has been a strategic partner for Qatar, purchasing Qatari LNG since 2015,” Sadziński said. “Energy continues to be the fundamental pillar of our relationship.” He emphasized that energy cooperation has helped sustain steady bilateral trade valued at around QR5 billion.
Polish exports to Qatar account for approximately QR750 million ($200 million), and the Ambassador sees significant potential for growth. Furthermore, he said, Qatar has yet to make major investments in Poland beyond the Qatar Airways European Call Center. He added that the forum is designed to highlight new opportunities to the business community in both countries.
In addition to energy, Poland’s tourism and hospitality sectors present promising prospects for Qatari investors. Sadziński pointed out that Poland’s tourism industry has grown rapidly in recent years. “Many Qatari visitors return with exceptional experiences,” he said, “showing that these sectors are open for investment.”
Moreover, Poland is pursuing an ambitious energy transformation plan that requires substantial foreign support. Sadziński stressed opportunities in renewables, energy storage, and potentially small and modular nuclear reactors funded by private investors. He said such projects could form the backbone of Poland’s energy sector in the coming years.
The primary goal of the forum is to establish direct connections between companies and build business confidence. “The key objective is simple: establish relationships, trust, and direct contacts,” he said. “Bilateral visits and continued discussions will further strengthen cooperation.”
Around 60 Polish delegates representing 31 companies attended the forum. They participated in a series of B2B meetings designed to explore partnerships and investment opportunities. Additionally, several delegates are staying in Qatar to advance ongoing discussions and potential deals.
Overall, Poland Qatar investment is expected to expand across multiple sectors, boosting trade, encouraging new ventures, and deepening bilateral relations between the two countries.
