Poland and the EIB

We supported Poland’s first satellite programme, making a significant contribution to strengthening shared European defence and security. Once operational, the two Earth observation satellites will deliver high-resolution imagery for both civilian and defence use.

We are a reliable partner in Poland’s energy transition, providing strategic financing for large-scale infrastructure projects, including offshore wind farms and energy grids, to foster sustainable development and advance climate action.
