Investments planned in Poland 2022-2023 | Roads & Motorways, Railways, Energy

20 July 2022 | Knowledge, News

Every year, the Polish state allocates nearly EUR 45 billion for purchases via public procurement. The coming years will be a time of revolutionary change in Poland in terms of the infrastructure and energy sectors, and so we expect the Polish public sector to maintain and even increase its spending levels in the near future. The key drivers for these transformations will be the rebuilding of the Polish economy following the COVID-19 pandemic, decarbonization, digitalization and the increasing adoption of ESG practices.

The development of the energy sector in Poland will be focused on meeting the objectives of the EU climate and energy policy with up to EUR 340.5 billion planned for the transition of the Polish economy to net zero by 2040.

In addition, in August 2021, the Polish government announced a national road construction programme, with a total of approximately EUR 62 billion planned for allocation to associated projects in the period up to 2030.

By 2030, the total value of railway projects in Poland will reach nearly EUR 42.5 billion.

If you would like more details on these and other projects, our report on investments planned in Poland from 2022-2023 in the road, rail and energy infrastructure sectors is available now.

What EU businesses need to know about foreign subsidies

Just two months after the Regulation came into force, the Commission launched a high-profile investigation into a contract awarded by the Bulgarian Ministry of Transport and Communications for the purchase of electric trains from a major Chinese manufacturer. This was intended to emphasise the EU’s stance on unfair competition and its determination to combat this phenomenon.

Labour law: what lies ahead in 2026?

Changes to the way the length of service is determined, new executive ordinances for foreigners, and new powers for the National Labour Inspectorate are just some of the changes in labour law that will come into force in 2026.

Protecting designs exhibited at trade fairs

How can intellectual property and designs that have already been presented to the public, for example at trade fairs, be protected? All you need to do is exercise your exhibition priority right. This mechanism allows you to file an application for such a design at a later date without affecting its novelty. Let’s see how it works in practice.

Contractual practices prohibited under the Data Act 

One of the key aspects of the Data Act is the introduction of provisions on prohibited contractual practices. These provisions are intended to protect businesses operating within the broadly understood digital industry that have a weaker contractual position.

Those who have data have power. The Data Act redistributes this power

The EU Data Act, which came into force in September 2025, represents a breakthrough in the regulation of data access and use. Data generated by devices, ranging from agricultural tractors and industrial machinery to solar panels and transport fleets, is no longer the sole property of manufacturers. Other market participants now have the opportunity to access and use this data to develop new, innovative products and services. The Data Act marks a departure from business models based on data monopolisation, to one requiring data to be shared in accordance with its rules. We are therefore entering a completely new reality.

KSeF and transfer pricing: a new era of transparency and operational challenges

The introduction of the National e-Invoice System (KSeF) represents one of the most significant challenges for group companies in recent years. Although the KSeF is intended to simplify the invoicing process and reduce tax abuse, it also has a significant impact on transfer pricing, particularly with regard to the documentation and settlement of TP adjustments.

Contributing assets to a family foundation – what to keep in mind

A family foundation is a legal entity whose purpose is to manage wealth effectively and ensure its succession without the risk of dispersing assets accumulated over generations. Therefore, a key issue related to the activities of such an organisation is the contribution of this wealth to the foundation in the form of various types of assets that will work for the beneficiaries. Let’s take a look at what this process involves in practice.

Cloud migration after the Data Act: new rights, lower costs and greater freedom

The Data Act requires a significant change in approach to cloud services. Companies should review their contracts and start planning updates immediately. It is crucial to introduce appropriate switching provisions and remove or renegotiate exit fees. Companies must also prepare their infrastructure, both technically and organisationally, for interoperability and migration in accordance with the new regulations.
