Ambassador of Poland to Qatar, H E Tomasz Sadziński,
Doha, Qatar: The Embassy of Poland in Qatar convened senior officials, business leaders, and investors yesterday for the Poland–Qatar Investment Forum, an event aimed at deepening bilateral economic cooperation and fostering new business partnerships between the two rapidly growing economies.
Ambassador of Poland to Qatar, H E Tomasz Sadziński, opened the forum with remarks highlighting the breadth of participation and the strong institutional backing from both nations. “I am particularly happy that we have been successful in attracting so many amazing speakers from Qatar and Poland to join us. I admit I have paid them to make sure that we all benefit from this experience,” he said humorously, drawing warm reactions from the audience.
Sadziński underscored the remarkable economic trajectories of both countries, describing them as “extraordinary success stories.” Qatar, he noted, has become one of the world’s wealthiest nations within decades, holding nearly 25 percent of the global LNG market and managing sovereign wealth assets exceeding $540bn. Qatar Airways, he highlighted, “has been named the world’s best airline many times.”
Poland, meanwhile, continues to post a strong economic performance. “The pace of Poland’s GDP growth has been second only to China’s in the last 30 years. This year, Poland joined the $1 trillion GDP club, becoming the world’s 20th biggest economy,” he said.
Yet despite impressive figures, Ambassador Sadziński stressed that investment decisions depend on more than macroeconomic indicators. “These numbers definitely are not enough to make an investment decision. The main objective of this meeting today is to do just that,” he said, thanking attendees for placing confidence in the Embassy’s initiative.
The forum brought together over 30 Polish companies from sectors including energy, IT, automation, infrastructure, food, fashion, consulting, and legal services.
“Altogether, more than 30 Polish businesses are represented here today, and from right here, they will not charge a penny for their services today. So please use the opportunity,” the Ambassador remarked
Delivering a keynote address, Invest Qatar CEO Sheikh Ali Alwaleed Al Thani commended the strong turnout and reaffirmed Qatar’s commitment to expanding bilateral economic ties. “Your participation reflects the strength of our bilateral relationship and the shared ambition to unlock new frontiers of economic collaboration,” he said. “Today’s forum is a continuation of that vision.”
Sheikh Ali noted that Qatar is home to around 35 Polish companies that contribute to the country’s diversification goals, operating across sectors such as technology, logistics, and professional services. He highlighted the country’s rapid transformation under the Qatar National Vision 2030, noting that the IMF forecasts it to be the fastest-growing economy in the region in 2026. He also outlined the major regulatory reforms introduced to enhance transparency and ease of doing business, including streamlined licensing, full foreign ownership, competitive corporate tax, zero personal income tax, and unrestricted profit repatriation. These changes, he said, have positioned Qatar as a leading investment destination in the GCC.
“The opportunities for Polish businesses in Qatar are not only growing, but they are also evolving in exciting and impactful ways,” Sheikh Ali said, pointing to high-potential sectors such as digital technology, health care, logistics, financial services, and content industries. He added that Qatar’s $1bn incentive programme is designed to attract strategic investments into these future-oriented sectors.
