The Województwo mazowieckie region has already invested more than PLN 55 billion from European funds and the National Recovery Plan (KPO). As a result, roads, railways, public transport systems, and hospitals are being modernized. Digital, environmental, tourism, and education projects are also being implemented.

Strong Position of Mazovia in Implementing KPO and FEM

Over 142,800 KPO agreements have been signed in Mazovia, with a total value exceeding PLN 39.3 billion. This places the region first in Poland in terms of the scale of funds utilized under this financial instrument. A significant share of EU-supported investments concerns healthcare, including:

modernization of hospital infrastructure,

digitalization of healthcare services,

development of medical teaching and research facilities,

expansion of long-term care services.

The largest single KPO grant in the region—exceeding PLN 1 billion—was awarded to Koleje Mazowieckie for the purchase of 75 electric multiple units.

Under the program Fundusze Europejskie dla Mazowsza 2021–2027 (FEM), approximately PLN 6.8 billion was allocated to the Mazowiecki regional area and PLN 2.1 billion to the Warsaw capital region. So far, more than 1,200 agreements have been signed with beneficiaries, with a total value exceeding PLN 5 billion—representing over 56% of the available budget.

Healthcare Investments

Healthcare remains one of the key areas of EU funding in the region. To date, Mazovia has contracted 128 KPO agreements worth approximately PLN 1.77 billion.

A significant portion of these funds supports facilities within the National Oncology Network, benefiting hospitals in Warsaw, Grodzisk Mazowiecki, Otwock, and Płock.

Additionally, PLN 190 million from the KPO was invested in expanding the teaching base of the Warszawski Uniwersytet Medyczny.

Another major beneficiary is the Mazowiecki Szpital Bródnowski, which will implement an innovative gene therapy project for Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders under the FEM program. The total budget amounts to nearly PLN 150 million, including almost PLN 140 million in EU funding. The European Commission recognized the project as aligned with the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP), supporting the development and production of critical biotechnologies across the EU.

Infrastructure and Transport – Investments in Mobility

From the Fundusze Europejskie na Infrastrukturę, Klimat, Środowisko 2021–2027 (FEnIKS) program, 104 projects are being implemented in Mazovia with a total value of PLN 21.6 billion, including PLN 10.9 billion in EU co-financing. These projects focus on:

eco-friendly public transport,

road and rail infrastructure,

environmental protection.

Key investments include:

Construction of the second metro line in Warsaw – Stage IV (PLN 3 billion; EU funding: PLN 1.1 billion),

Construction of the Wilanów tram route – Phase II (PLN 2 billion; EU funding: PLN 900 million),

Construction of the S7 expressway section Płońsk–Czosnów (PLN 2.8 billion; EU funding: PLN 1.2 billion).
