The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) and the Polish Investment and Trade Agency signed two memoranda of understanding on Dec. 11, 2025 to strengthen bilateral trade and investment between the two nations.
PEZA director-general Tereso Panga and Polish Investment and Trade Agency Head Bartek Wasiewski signed the agreements to convert investment leads into long-term projects.
The partnership follows a June 2025 investment mission to Poland that identified opportunities in renewable energy, data centers and shipbuilding.
The first agreement designates the Polish Investment and Trade Agency as the official investment promotion partner of PEZA. The Polish agency, which assists companies with legal requirements and partner identification, will work to create a synchronized investment environment and promote mutually beneficial economic growth.
Under the second agreement, the two agencies and Polish shipbuilder JPP Marine will conduct a feasibility study to identify potential economic zone sites.
The study will explore collaborations with existing registered shipbuilders to strengthen maritime capabilities and develop a globally competitive industry for domestic and international markets.
The initiative aims to advance technology-driven and sustainable investments that support the industrial transformation of the Philippines and the global expansion of Poland. Officials expect the partnership to generate jobs and bolster trade flows through the identification of strategic locations and reliable suppliers.
The Philippine government continues to prioritize maritime development as part of its broader economic strategy. By working with Polish firms, the country seeks to leverage European expertise in high-tech manufacturing and heavy industry.
