The Polish Defence Sector is growing rapidly with an annual budget allocation close to 2.5% of the Polish GDP. Between 2018 and 2028, significant investments in the defence sector will be made. In fact, the defence budget in Poland could be raised by more than $38 billion to renew military equipment through the technical modernization plan of the Polish Armed Forces. The Polish government is open to international collaboration, which represents significant opportunities for Canadian companies in the defence sector wishing to access the Polish market.
