Poland, located in the heart of Europe, is a strategic hub connecting Central and Eastern Europe with Western Europe, serving as an economic and logistics center. With a strong domestic market of 38 million people and an investment-friendly environment based on continuous economic growth and stability, Poland has attracted attention as an attractive investment destination for Korean companies. Poland offers excellent infrastructure and skilled labor across various industries such as electric vehicle batteries, automotive parts, IT, and defense, extending an invitation to Korean companies for investment. Many Korean companies, including LG Energy Solution and Samsung Electronics, have already successfully entered the Polish market. Recently, as Poland is expected to play a pivotal role as a production and logistics base in the Ukraine reconstruction project, the importance of investing in Poland has become even more prominent.

Hungary is also a gateway to Europe and an attractive investment destination for Korean companies with sustainable economic growth and an innovative industrial base. In particular, Hungary possesses world-class competitiveness in advanced industries such as automotive, electronics, secondary batteries, and medical and bio sectors, supported by highly productive and specialized labor and excellent infrastructure. Recently, investments by Korean companies in Hungary have been increasingly active, and Hungary offers great opportunities for Korean companies in future industries such as electric vehicle and battery manufacturing, digital technology, and green industries based on sustainability.

Accordingly, KOTRA has published guides containing the latest investment entry information for both countries to support companies intending to enter these markets. These booklets can be downloaded for free from the trade resources section on the KOTRA website.

Kim Tae-hyung, CEO of KOTRA Invest Korea, said, "Poland and Hungary are manufacturing powerhouses in Central and Eastern Europe, and recently, as investment opportunities for our country have greatly expanded, economic cooperation is strengthening. We expect that the newly published investment practical guides will provide substantial help to companies thirsty for the latest investment entry information about these countries."
