GreenEvo companies and representatives of companies with State Treasury shareholding met in Warsaw on 14 October 2026 to discuss how Polish green technologies can play a greater role in major investment projects and supply chains.
Local content and green technologies
The meeting was opened by Urszula Zielińska, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Climate and Environment, and Eliza Zeidler, Secretary of State at the Ministry of State Assets.
We know how important it is to strengthen the resilience of Polish and European businesses. Today, reducing our dependence on supply chains outside Europe is essential for the competitiveness of our economy. In many areas, we depend on a small number of suppliers of critical raw materials, who increasingly use their position for economic and geopolitical purposes. This is why regulations such as the Net-Zero Industry Act are being introduced to help Polish and European companies become more independent,
said Deputy Minister of Climate and Environment Urszula Zielińska.
One of the main topics of the event was how Polish technology companies can become more involved in investment projects and procurement carried out by companies with State Treasury shareholding. This is an important part of the local content approach, which aims to increase the role of domestic companies in supply chains.
Local content makes a real difference when Polish technology is used in a specific investment project and a Polish company becomes a partner in delivering it. We want major investments in Poland to support domestic suppliers, develop expertise and give Polish companies opportunities to take part in future projects,
said Deputy Minister of State Assets Eliza Zeidler.
The benefits of local content go beyond individual contracts. They include stronger and more secure supply chains, more stable jobs, the development of technical expertise, more opportunities for local SMEs and benefits for local communities. An important part of this approach is helping Polish companies strengthen their market position by becoming part of the supply chains of major investment projects.
Polish green technologies can play an important role in this process. GreenEvo – Green Technology Accelerator has been run by the Ministry of Climate and Environment since 2009. The programme promotes Polish environmental technologies and supports the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. It focuses on solutions that have already been successfully implemented, are effective and have the potential to expand into other markets.
We have been running GreenEvo at the Ministry of Climate and Environment since 2009. We regularly look for and select new technologies developed entirely in Poland – modern, zero-emission and renewable solutions that can help us build a sustainable and modern economy. Today, GreenEvo includes more than 60 technologies and over 50 companies working in areas ranging from energy and waste management to water treatment. We update the list almost every year and continue to look for new, modern Polish low-emission technologies,
said Deputy Minister Urszula Zielińska.
From discussion to cooperation
An important part of the event was a debate involving representatives of both ministries, companies with State Treasury shareholding and GreenEvo companies. The discussion focused on how to put local content into practice in investment and procurement processes, and how to make the supply chains of large companies more accessible to Polish technology providers and SMEs.
Participants discussed how to better match the needs of large companies with solutions already available on the Polish market. They also talked about opportunities to test technologies and run pilot projects, as well as the barriers that make it difficult for smaller businesses to work with large companies.
GreenEvo companies then presented their technologies and green solutions during a short pitching session.
The event also included dedicated B2B meetings between GreenEvo companies and representatives of companies with State Treasury shareholding. The meetings were arranged based on needs identified in advance, allowing participants to discuss specific areas of potential cooperation.
Polish green solutions in supply chains
The meeting had a strong practical focus. Its aim was to help large companies better understand the technologies offered by Polish businesses, while giving Polish companies a better understanding of the needs of major investors.
Bringing Polish green technologies into the supply chains of companies with State Treasury shareholding can support both the green transition and the Polish economy. The goal is to give technologies and expertise developed by Polish companies a greater role in major investment projects carried out in Poland.
In this way, local content can help strengthen Poland’s economic and technological potential while making supply chains more resilient and secure.
