The 13th "Poland, the Great Project" Congress was an opportunity to take stock of the international situation and debate on sovereignty in its broadest sense. At the opening of the Congress, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki discussed the geopolitical situation in the region and security in Europe. On Saturday – the second day of the Congress – the head of the Polish government took part in the presentation ceremony of the Polish President Lech Kaczyński Award. This year's laureate was the Polish draughtsman, painter and stage designer Janusz Kapusta.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki met with Canadian head of government Justin Trudeau, as well as with Premier of Ontario Doug Ford and representatives of the energy industry in Canada. The main topic of the visit was Polish-Canadian relations, in particular regarding the development of the energy sector and security in the geopolitical context. Topics of discussion included Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki met with the head of the Dutch government Mark Rutte in The Hague. The issues discussed by the two leaders included bolstering the security commitment to our region. Reforming the European Union and the question of unanimity were also among the topics of discussion, as was the development of common mechanisms concerning migration.

Sustainable development is the greatest challenge ahead of us. We support local government authorities in their activities. We want to build new, safe roads, renovate schools and carry out other investment projects in response to the needs of residents in every corner of Poland. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki addressed this topic at the National BGK Conference for local government authorities. He recalled the numerous investment projects – more than 11,000 projects worth PLN 63 billion – carried out under the Government Strategic Investment Programme.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has announced that the state-of-the-art technology hub will be established in Poland by Visa, one of the global leaders in digital payments and banking. It will be the company's first such technology centre in Europe and fifth in the world. Choosing Poland for the location clearly shows that we are a very attractive country for investment in new technologies. We owe it to, among other things, educated and talented Poles on the labour market as well as stable institutions and investor-friendly policies. New investments in our country mean new jobs and higher wages.

The Polish government is solving the problem of grain surplus in our country. We are expanding export, logistics and transport capacities for this purpose. We have also increased subsidy rates so that farmers can sell grain faster. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki visited the port of Gdynia, where Poland's largest bulk cargo terminal is located.

For the past six years, the Maritime Convention has brought together experts from the water management industry. Its members submit projects aimed at developing the maritime economy. We continue to develop the Polish shipbuilding and transport industry and introduce innovations. We are accelerating the construction of offshore wind farms and activating our shipbuilding industry. Coastal businesses are becoming strong players in the global economy.

Government policy focuses on supporting families. Since 2015, we have been realising this objective through a number of social programmes - Toddler+, Family Welfare Capital or Good Start. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki visited the town of Działoszyce in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, where a pre-school and a nursery have been established thanks to the Toddler+ and Government Local Investment Fund programmes. The Prime Minister also pointed out to the government's commitment - from 1 January 2024, we will increase the amount of support for Polish families from PLN 500 to PLN 800. This is a financial injection that will support household budgets and enable children, among other things, to participate in additional sports or cultural activities.

Research shows that the situation of women, in respect of many economic indicators, is constantly improving. For example, increasingly more women decide to take up employment or run their own business. The share of women in managerial positions and on the boards of listed companies is also growing. At the same time, Polish women can benefit from government support, which makes it easier for them to return to the labour market. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki was a guest at the 1st Congress “Wielkopolska – the Heart of European Entrepreneurship. Polish woman – a unique European”, which was held in Kępno. The head of the Polish government handed out the Leaders of Entrepreneurship awards.
