Danish goods and services enjoy a strong reputation in Poland, and there are significant opportunities for Danish businesses. With the country's economic growth and modernization, many opportunities are emerging in the environmental and green solutions sectors. The Polish agricultural, food, and water sectors are rapidly developing, and Danish expertise is in demand in the construction and infrastructure industries.

There are many pathways into the Polish market and great growth potential – but it requires in-depth market knowledge and the right connections, as the Polish market is characterized by intense competition.
