Learning from partners: investment management, public-private partnerships, and industrial development in Poland
Last week, Warsaw hosted a study visit as part of the Polish Aid for Development project “Support for the Development of Entrepreneurship and Competitiveness of Ukrainian Regions - Continuation,” organized by the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy of the Republic of Poland.
The program focused on the practical aspects of regional development: investment management, public-private partnerships, business support, and the effective use of regional policy instruments.
All events took place directly at the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy, where representatives of the National Economy Bank, the Polish Investment and Trade Agency, and local development institutions shared their experience in implementing investment projects and supporting entrepreneurship.
A special moment of the visit was the meeting of the project steering group, during which achievements, next steps, and new areas of cooperation were discussed. Kristina Solovei, Deputy Director of the Vinnytsia Regional Development Agency, took part in the visit, presenting the Agency's activities to the steering group and joining the discussion on partnership opportunities for Ukrainian regions.
The Polish model of regional policy is a valuable benchmark for Ukraine today—an example of how investments in infrastructure, the business ecosystem, and human potential create real opportunities for regional growth.
