Polish state-owned companies within the portfolio of the Industrial Development Agency (ARP) are showing growing interest in business opportunities and partnerships on the Romanian market. To facilitate direct contacts between Polish and Romanian companies, as well as dialogue with representatives of economic and government institutions and business organizations from both countries, the Polish-Romanian Bilateral Chamber of Commerce and Industry organized the Polish-Romanian Industrial Networking Reception, which was held on September 28 in Bucharest. Discussions focused on cooperation opportunities, joint projects, investments, and the development of strategic partnerships. In the same context, the business platform TwinMarkets.eu was launched, with the aim of supporting trade and business relations between Romania and Poland.
The Polish delegation visiting Bucharest included eight companies active in key sectors such as rail transport, energy, industrial manufacturing, space technologies, and robotics. The participating companies represent both traditional industrial sectors and technology-driven fields with significant potential for development and international cooperation.
In 2025, the Industrial Development Agency (ARP) recorded a turnover of €136 million, while the participating companies reported revenues ranging from €2.6 million to €101 million: FPS H. Cegielski (€101 million), Fabryka Kotłów SEFAKO (€62.8 million), TF Silesia (€24.3 million), GP Baltic (€17 million), Opakomet (€13 million), RAFAMET (€11 million), Stomil Bydgoszcz (€8.1 million), and PIAP Space (€2.6 million).
The event provided participants with an opportunity to present their business portfolios, operating models, and strategic priorities, as well as the areas in which they are seeking partnership opportunities with the local business community.
“We are here not only as a development institution, but also as a partner that brings together financing, restructuring, equity investments, and workforce-focused programmes. We want to fulfil this role together with our partners in Romania. Poland and Romania are two of the largest markets in the region, with similar ambitions in areas such as offshore energy, defence, semiconductors, and critical infrastructure. The partnership between our countries represents a direct investment in Europe’s production capabilities and jobs,” said Daniel Ryczek, CEO of ARP S.A.
As part of its efforts to strengthen trade and business relations between Romania and Poland, the Polish-Romanian Bilateral Chamber of Commerce and Industry also launched TwinMarkets.eu, a business platform designed to support connections between companies from the two countries.
“The event held in Bucharest reconfirms the openness of Polish companies to sustainable partnerships and new projects in Romania. We are committed to facilitating direct dialogue between companies and turning these opportunities into strong business collaborations. Through both the event organized in Bucharest and the TwinMarkets.eu platform, we aim to support a regional business ecosystem that benefits both markets,” said Adam Sobieszkoda, Executive Director and Member of the Board of the Polish-Romanian Bilateral Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
“Despite the current challenges, Romania remains a market with significant potential for Polish companies, both due to the size of its economy and the development opportunities available in strategic sectors. The complementarity of the two countries’ economies can create favorable conditions for investment, knowledge transfer, and joint projects with a long-term impact,” added Ovidiu Văleanu, Chamber Representative in Romania and Member of the Board of the Polish-Romanian Bilateral Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The platform twinmarkets.eu provides users with a messaging service through which companies seeking partners, clients, or business development opportunities in the Romanian and Polish markets can interact directly.
