Poland finds itself at a turning point in its economic history. As it enters the top twenty largest economies in the world, our country requires ambitious plans to maintain its growth momentum. The PFR strategy responds to global trends and challenges, as well as the local needs of the Polish economy. "We invest responsibly, mobilizing capital and knowledge to realize the economic ambitions of Poles and strengthen the economy's resilience," reads the PFR's new mission statement.
The five strategic directions of the PFR Capital Group’s activities for 2026–2030 are:
1. economic and defensive resilience,
2. innovation and technological autonomy of the country,
3. international competitiveness of Polish enterprises,
4. long-term financial security of Poles,
5. energy transformation.
PFR is consistently building a stable and long-term investment ecosystem, focusing on venture capital, modern technologies, and projects with global potential. The new operating model also includes active support for the international expansion of Polish companies, which is intended to strengthen their position in international markets.
The investment approach is based on a precise selection of instruments – from indirect investments that mobilize private capital, to direct involvement in projects of key development significance. Initiatives such as PFR DeepTech and Innovate Poland are being developed in parallel, with capital directed towards infrastructure, energy transition, dual-use technologies, and international business development, among other areas.
A key element of the strategy is the further expansion of the venture capital and private equity ecosystem, with strong participation from private investors. These efforts are complemented by initiatives supporting market education, strengthening international cooperation, and developing programs to accelerate the implementation of innovations in Polish companies.
The Polish Development Fund strategy assumes the intensification of activities encouraging participation in Employee Capital Plans (PPK) and further increasing the transparency of the program.
The goal is for Employee Capital Plans (PPK) to become a natural part of planning the financial future of every working Pole. The program aims not only to effectively grow savings but also to build investment skills and support the creation of long-term, intergenerational wealth for Polish families.
A strong capital market remains the foundation of a modern economy – it enables financing of larger investments, including higher-risk projects, and creates stable conditions for long-term saving. The Polish Development Fund's strategy aims to further promote savings and strengthen the stability of the housing market, both of which are key to building citizens' financial security.
The strategy clearly identifies energy transformation as one of the key factors for future competitiveness. Investments in renewable energy sources, infrastructure, and new energy technologies are intended not only to reduce emissions but also to increase economic independence.
The PFR Capital Group has consistently developed an ESG strategy based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Since 2025, this area has been overseen by the Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO), responsible for the coherence and effectiveness of the Group's activities.
As of the end of 2024, the value of PFR investments classified as "supporting sustainable development" is estimated at approximately PLN 1 billion. In the social sphere, the Group allocates approximately PLN 2.9 billion to investments supporting social goals, including the construction of rental apartments and programs for economic education, employee volunteering, and social innovations that counteract exclusion.
The PFR's strategic directions for 2026–2030 are an integral part of a broader, strategic development plan for the Polish economy, implemented by the Ministry of Finance and Economy. PFR's mission within this plan is to mobilize capital and support innovation, drawing inspiration from, among others, the French "Tibi Plan," which introduced long-term investments in key sectors of the economy, bringing tangible results in the form of increased innovation and business competitiveness
The real impact of the Polish Development Fund (PFR) on the economy is already visible in key sectors. The Fund's investments provide both financing and tools to drive the country's modernization. Support for the expansion of the Baltic Hub – the largest container terminal in the Baltic Sea – strengthens Poland's position as a regional logistics center and lays the foundation for the development of offshore wind energy. At the same time, the PFR strengthens resilience
The fund promotes the economy and national security by investing in companies of strategic importance, such as WB Electronics, a leader in the Polish defense sector, and PESA Bydgoszcz, a key manufacturer of rolling stock. The fund also supports the ambitions of Polish companies to expand abroad, as exemplified by companies such as Trend Glass and Metalkas.
PFR is also actively accelerating the energy transition by financing projects such as photovoltaic farms, waste-to-energy plants, and an installation terminal for the construction of offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea. Investments in rental housing respond to real social needs, and programs supporting innovation – such as PFR Deep Tech and VC Connect – develop technologies of the future, including dual-use solutions.
The PFR strategy for 2026-2030 directs knowledge and capital where they can create the greatest value for Poland's long-term development, security and competitiveness.
