On 1 December 2025, the European Commission disbursed €6.2 billion to Poland under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the main instrument of the NextGenerationEU programme. This is the third tranche linked to the implementation of the Krajowy Plan Odbudowy (KPO), the Polish National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
With this payment, the total amount already disbursed to Poland under the RRF reaches €26.9 billion, out of €59.8 billion planned in the national plan (including €25.3 billion in grants and €34.5 billion in concessional loans). The resources are earmarked for investments and reforms in the key areas identified by the EU: climate transition, digitalisation and social cohesion.
According to official communications, around 46.6% of the KPO is dedicated to the green transition (clean energy, energy efficiency and sustainable infrastructure), 21.3% to the digital transformation (connectivity, e-government, digital skills) and more than 22% to social and labour market reforms. These funds provide a significant boost to the Polish economy and represent an opportunity for companies interested in green, digital and infrastructure projects financed by the European Union.
Looking ahead to 2026, Poland is expected to consolidate the use of KPO funds in synergy with the 2021–2027 structural programmes, with increasing emphasis on digital transformation and cybersecurity. For businesses and international partners, this translates into new opportunities especially in:
- Digitalisation of SMEs and Public Administration (e-government platforms, online services, document management, digital identity);
- Cybersecurity (solutions to protect public and corporate networks, monitoring and incident response systems, business continuity, data protection);
- Data analytics and AI applied to the public and private sectors (data analysis for urban planning, mobility, citizen services, fintech, advanced manufacturing);
- Advanced training in digital skills and cybersecurity, targeting both the private sector and public bodies.
In summary, the additional €6.2 billion tranche confirms Poland’s role as one of the main beneficiaries of European funding over the next two years and opens a new season of digital projects and investments, with particular attention to building safer, more resilient and technologically advanced ecosystems.
