Mirbud SAElectroMobility Poland applies for funding under Poland's national recovery plan KPO
ElectroMobility Poland (EMP), coordinator of Poland's first electric car project, has submitted an application for EU funding under Poland's national recovery plan KPO. The application includes, among other things, PLN 1.4 billion (EUR 326.7 mln) in investments directed at the development of local suppliers and R&D activities, the company wrote in a press release.
As stated, 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,” Tomasz Kedzierski, CEO of EMP, was quoted as saying.
"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," he added.
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,” Kedzierski underlined.
As stated, 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.
"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," the EMP CEO said.
EMP aims to become a platform for the growth of a modern, competitive Polish automotive sector, one capable of thriving in international markets.
The company wrote that it is ready to begin factory construction in mid-2026, with secured land, valid construction permits, and listed construction company Mirbud as the general contractor.
