In the years 2024-2029, the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development is implementing a Polish Electronics & Photonics Program. The initiative is part of the non-competitive project “Internationalisation of SMEs – Brand HUB”, measure 2.26 of the “European Funds for a Smart Economy 2021–2027” (FENG) program.

The main objective of the Polish Electronics & Photonics Program is to present Polish offer of electronics, microelectronics and photonics products and services to foreign partners and to promote Poland as a country that offers advanced products, technologies and services, offers interesting and innovative solutions, and has the potential to develop in foreign markets. The program is available to Polish companies operating in the field of professional electronics, microelectronics, and photonics that are looking for foreign trade, technological, and investment partners.

The program includes promotional activities aimed at promoting the entire Electronics & Photonics sector and the Polish economy through:

• organizing information and promotional campaigns.
• organizing national stands at major international industry trade fairs,
• preparing a report (e-book) in English containing an analysis of the Polish professional electronics, microelectronics, and photonics sector,
