Warsaw, 7 July 2025 – ElectroMobility Poland (EMP) has submitted an application for funding under the National Recovery Plan (NRP). The application includes, among other things, PLN 1.4 billion in investments directed at the development of local suppliers and R&D activities. This marks a key milestone in the implementation of Poland’s most ambitious industrial project in the field of electromobility.

A modern electric vehicle factory, a research and development center, and a European automotive brand with its headquarters in Poland will be established in Jaworzno. “We are perfectly prepared, and submitting the application marks the transition from planning to action. The period of stagnation is over — now we simply get the job done,” emphasizes Tomasz Kędzierski, CEO of EMP.

EMP’s New Strategy: Bold Decisions, a Clear Decade-Long Vision

Over recent months, ElectroMobility Poland has fundamentally redesigned the project, aligning it with current market realities. The strategy now rests on four pillars:

• A European automotive brand headquartered in Poland – EMP aims to build a strong brand recognized across Europe, with its decision-making center and R&D base remaining in the country.
• State-of-the-art factory and production – Construction will begin in Jaworzno on a facility with an initial capacity of 150,000 vehicles per year and room for further expansion.
• Research & Development Center – Investments in innovation and technology transfer will boost the global competitiveness of Poland’s automotive sector.
• Strategic investment areas – EMP will strengthen the electromobility ecosystem by supporting Polish suppliers and establishing a robust, future-oriented value chain.

“In our 3,000-page application, backed by concrete agreements and detailed analyses, we present a cohesive vision of a next-generation industrial foundation. A hub that will generate tens of thousands of jobs, foster technological development and supplier growth — but above all, lay lasting foundations for the future of the entire sector. We have planned PLN 1.4 billion in expenditures for local supplier development and in-house R&D. Together with our partner, we are building a collaboration model that ensures mutual benefit,” adds Kędzierski.

NRP as a Catalyst for Poland’s Industrial Backbone

EMP’s application to the NRP covers not only the factory construction but also the creation of a systemic solution for the entire automotive industry. According to project assumptions, each zloty invested from the NRP should attract four zlotys from private sources — generating a powerful investment multiplier effect.

EMP stresses that this is not a one-off investment, but a systemic endeavor that builds the foundation for an entire sector — enabling technology transfer, strengthening local supply chains, and generating high-quality jobs.

“Successful nations do not merely import solutions. They actively participate in creating, implementing, and improving them. Growth rooted in technology requires long-term strategies in education, research infrastructure, and public-private cooperation,” Kędzierski notes, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach.

International Partnership: A Joint Venture with a Global Leader

EMP is seeking a strategic partnership with one of China’s leading automotive firms. The optimal form of collaboration is a joint venture — ensuring the alignment and protection of both parties’ long-term interests. The final partner will be selected based on its ability to deliver strategic goals such as industry development and the increase of value-added by Polish firms.

Kędzierski highlights that the partnership will go far beyond simple vehicle assembly — it will involve real technology transfer and joint product development.

“This is not a foreign investment or a gift to an overseas partner. It is a joint public-private investment into the future of the Polish economy,” says the EMP CEO.
A joint venture ensures that EMP maintains real influence over the project’s direction — granting Poland access to key technologies and a seat at the table in shaping industrial development strategy. EMP brings production infrastructure, domestic market potential, and government support to the partnership, while the international partner offers cutting-edge technologies and global expertise.

Driving Innovation and the Development of Poland’s Automotive Sector

The EMP project is more than just a factory and a new automotive brand. It is a strategic impulse for the development of Poland’s entire electromobility ecosystem. Plans include broad involvement of Polish suppliers, investment in R&D, and support for startups and innovative ventures. EMP aims to become a platform for the growth of a modern, competitive Polish automotive sector — one capable of thriving in international markets.

The owner’s decision to extend the current management board’s term for another three years is a recognition of the team’s achievements and a commitment to continuity. EMP highlights that government support and full engagement from the team are key to the project’s success.
The company is ready to begin factory construction in mid-2026, with secured land, valid construction permits, and a selected general contractor — MIRBUD S.A., one of Poland’s leading construction companies specializing in industrial and infrastructure projects.

Automotive Industry at a Turning Point: EMP as a Tool of National Industrial Policy

The European and Polish automotive sectors are undergoing profound transformation. The electrification of powertrains, the rising importance of batteries and semiconductors, China’s dominance in supply chains, and declining regional production all underscore the need for proactive industrial policies.

EMP, as a macroeconomic-scale project, can become a vital instrument of modern economic policy — not just reacting to global trends, but actively shaping conditions for the development of strategic industries. It supports the growth of domestic capabilities, fosters innovation, and enhances the competitiveness of the Polish economy on the European stage. This is an investment that will help Poland assert technological and industrial sovereignty in the era of new mobility — with Polish companies, Polish engineering, and Polish decision-making at its core.
