PEZA and its Polish counterparts are ready to translate investment leads into concrete, long-term projects and expand opportunities for technology-driven, sustainable and job-generating investments that contribute to the Philippines’ industrial transformation and Poland’s global expansion efforts.

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) has partnered with the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH) to promote greater trade and investments between the two countries.

In a statement yesterday, the investment promotion agency said that PEZA director general Tereso Panga and PAIH head Bartek Wasiewski signed two memoranda of understanding (MOU) on Dec. 11.

Under the first MOU, PAIH was designated as PEZA’s official investment promotion partner to help expand bilateral trade and investment flows.

PAIH, which serves as Poland’s lead agency for international investment and business expansion, helps foreign and Polish companies navigate administrative and legal requirements.

It also provides support by identifying suitable locations and linking investors with partners and suppliers.

Through the partnership, PEZA and PAIH aim to accelerate investments, facilitate project development and promote economic growth.

The partnership was forged following PEZA’s investment mission to Poland last June, which generated promising investment leads in renewable energy, data centers and shipbuilding.

Another MOU was also signed by PEZA and PAIH, representing Polish shipbuilder JPP Marine.

The second MOU covers the framework for a feasibility study to identify potential ecozone sites and potential partnerships with PEZA-registered firms for local shipbuilding activities to cater to both domestic and international markets.

The partnership supports the Philippines’ aim to strengthen its maritime capabilities and make the shipbuilding industry more competitive.

“With these two MOUs now in place, PEZA and its Polish counterparts are ready to translate investment leads into concrete, long-term projects and expand opportunities for technology-driven, sustainable and job-generating investments that contribute to the Philippines’ industrial transformation and Poland’s global expansion efforts,” PEZA said.

PEZA has been partnering with various institutions to promote the country as an investment hub.

For this year, PEZA aims to approve P250 billion worth of investments. As of Dec. 12, investments approved by PEZA reached P237.1 billion, exceeding last year’s total of P214.18 billion.
