Setting a Clean Course for Industry
A Strategy for Developing the Clean Tech Sector and Decarbonising Polish Industry
A transition that strengthens competitiveness

- 2Establish a government–industry working group – providing regular structured dialogue and an annual forum
- 3Launch work on a coherent national industrial strategy integrating currently fragmented sectoral strategies
- 4Review national regulations concerning decarbonisation and clean tech, including an audit of gold-plating
