Join PIDUMission and origins
We are a non-governmental, institutional platform for dialogue, cooperation and development for the dual-use sector in Poland
Why PIDU was established
Polish business has the technology, the competence and the readiness to invest. The barrier is a path from solution to deployment and procurement that is not sufficiently predictable. PIDU’s mission is to act on behalf of its member companies in a way that addresses this barrier and creates better conditions for growth across all aspects of their business.
The role of PIDU
The Chamber’s role is to promote the sector and represent it before public administration bodies, as well as to develop knowledge resources and analyses and to promote international cooperation and the sector’s expansion.
