So far, recruitment of 43 investments in KPO has been launched, the value of which reaches 61.6%. of the funds allocated for this purpose. In the grant section, agreements were signed with the final recipients of support for more than PLN 33 billion (29.2% of the allocation), and in the loan section for PLN 247.3 million, which is 0.2%. of the allocation.
– The challenges are enormous and time is running out. Intensive efforts are being made to implement all planned reforms and investments. Entrepreneurs are among the recipients of KPO money. Many of them are waiting for the results of competitions that have already ended, for example in the areas of automation and robotization or hydrogenation of the economy. There are ongoing competitions for companies related to the medical industry conducted by the Medical Research Agency, for the HoReCa sector with operators selected by the Polish Enterprise Development Agency, and for solutions related to the circular economy at PARP and NCBR. Loan instruments for digital transformation, energy efficiency or low-emission economy are still being prepared – says Agnieszka Lewandowska, expert at the Lewiatan Confederation.
