On 30 March 2026, a formal inauguration of the Polish Dual‑Use Chamber (PIDU) was held at the Targowa Creativity Centre in Warsaw – a new nationwide business chamber that provides a cooperation platform for companies and institutions developing dual‑use technologies, both for civilian purposes and for security and defence.

The event was attended by representatives of public administration, business, the technology sector and institutions that play an important role in the development of dual‑use innovation in Poland. The inauguration brought together a broad group of participants from industrial, innovation and expert communities.

The Industrial Development Agency JSC (ARP S.A.) was represented by:

  • Krzysztof Ślęzak, Deputy Director of SSE EURO‑PARK MIELEC
  • Mariusz Mądry, Senior Specialist in the Investor Services and Promotion Team

Their presence underlined the importance of cooperation between special economic zones and the rapidly developing dual‑use technology sector.

The Polish Dual‑Use Chamber was established as a platform bringing together enterprises, institutions and investors operating at the intersection of the civil market and security‑related areas. The Chamber’s main objectives include:

  • supporting the development of dual‑use technologies
  • strengthening the state’s resilience and security
  • integrating the capabilities of enterprises with the security and defence sector
  • linking technology companies with public administration and security‑sector institutions
  • creating conditions for partnerships, commercialisation of innovation and the development of public‑private cooperation

The dual‑use technology sector plays an increasingly important role in the development of modern industry, covering areas such as aviation, advanced technologies, cybersecurity, IT systems and solutions that enhance the security of infrastructure and processes.

SSE EURO‑PARK MIELEC has for many years supported the development of strategic industries and companies implementing innovative dual‑use projects. The presence of representatives of the ARP S.A. Branch in Mielec at the PIDU inauguration confirms this commitment to developing the ecosystem and the openness to new areas of cooperation.
