Deregulation and the Future of Polish Entrepreneurship. Paweł Jarski on Why Poland Needs a Stronger Business Environment
Polish business at a turning point
In a recent interview for Strefa Biznesu, Paweł Jarski, CEO of Elemental Group and member of the Business Council of The Company initiative, addressed one of the most important challenges facing the Polish economy today: how to create a more competitive, innovation-driven, and entrepreneur-friendly business environment.
The discussion focused on deregulation, economic competitiveness, and the growing role of private Polish companies in shaping both the domestic and international economy. According to Jarski, the current moment represents a unique opportunity for Poland to strengthen not only its economic position, but also the global perception of Polish entrepreneurship.
Deregulation as a driver of competitiveness
One of the key themes raised in the interview was the need to continue and finalize the deregulation efforts initiated by the business community under the leadership of Rafał Brzoska.
“Many of the proposed solutions are already prepared and ready for implementation. It would be a mistake to leave this process unfinished,” said Paweł Jarski during the European Economic Congress in Katowice.
From the perspective of Polish entrepreneurs, deregulation is not merely about simplifying procedures. It is about increasing efficiency, accelerating investment processes, strengthening innovation, and improving the ability of companies to compete internationally.
In sectors driven by technology, sustainability, and industrial transformation – including strategic raw materials recycling and urban mining – regulatory agility can directly influence investment decisions and long-term growth.
For companies operating globally, stable and predictable regulations are increasingly becoming one of the key determinants of competitiveness.
Private business as the engine of economic growth
During the interview, Paweł Jarski also highlighted the importance of private enterprises in building the Polish economy.
Today, private companies generate approximately 70% of Poland’s GDP, while simultaneously driving innovation, exports, technological development, and job creation. Yet despite their growing importance, many entrepreneurs still believe the public narrative around business does not fully reflect the contribution of the private sector.
According to Jarski, Poland now has the opportunity to create a new international image of the Polish entrepreneur – modern, ambitious, resilient, and globally competitive.
This shift is already visible across industries. Polish companies are increasingly expanding internationally, investing in advanced technologies, and participating in the global transition toward circular economy and sustainable industrial models.
Building the global brand of Polish entrepreneurship
The interview also emphasized the need to strengthen the international visibility of Polish private business.
While public institutions and state agencies play an important role in supporting exports and foreign expansion, private entrepreneurs often require different tools, communication strategies, and representation tailored to the realities of modern global markets.
The Company initiative aims to address this gap by bringing together entrepreneurs, experts, and business leaders focused on long-term economic development, competitiveness, and regulatory quality.
For Poland, building a strong entrepreneurial brand is no longer simply a matter of reputation. It is increasingly tied to attracting investment, scaling innovation, developing international partnerships, and strengthening economic resilience.
A broader economic transformation
The conversation around deregulation reflects a broader transformation currently taking place across Europe and global markets.
Businesses today operate in an environment shaped by:
- accelerating technological change,
- energy transition,
- supply chain restructuring,
- geopolitical uncertainty,
- and increasing sustainability requirements.
In this environment, countries capable of combining innovation with efficient regulation are likely to attract more investment and talent.
For Poland – one of Europe’s fastest-growing economies over the last three decades – this represents both a challenge and an opportunity.
Looking ahead
As Poland continues to strengthen its position in international markets, voices from business leaders such as Paweł Jarski contribute to an increasingly important discussion about the future direction of the economy.
The debate is no longer solely about growth rates or investment statistics. It is about how to create an ecosystem where entrepreneurship, innovation, sustainability, and competitiveness can develop together.
The full interview with Paweł Jarski for Strefa Biznesu highlights why deregulation and support for private enterprise may become one of the defining economic topics for Poland in the coming years.
