Polish automotive sector showcases strength at Autotech 2026 in Egypt
One of the highlights of Poland's participation was an expert event titled "The Polish Economic and Automotive Sector Promotion Event." The Polish ambassador to Cairo delivered remarks on Polish-Egyptian economic relations, while Bartosz Mielecki, managing director of the Polish Automotive Group, presented the capabilities and potential of Poland's automotive sector. During a panel discussion, Polish and Egyptian experts discussed opportunities for cooperation, the development of local manufacturing, supply chain development and technology transfer.
Trade figures reflect the growing momentum of bilateral cooperation. Polish exports of automotive parts and accessories to Egypt increased from $1.57 million in 2023 to $2.36 million in 2024 and $4.21 million in 2025. This represents nearly a threefold increase over two years while also highlighting the significant untapped potential of both markets.
Poland and Egypt also share a longstanding automotive tradition. Polish cars were assembled for two decades at plants in Helwan, where they were given local names: Nasr 125, Nasr Polonez and Ramzes, an Egyptian version of the Żuk.
The Egyptian government's designation of the automotive sector as a development priority opens new opportunities for Polish component manufacturers, technology providers and companies interested in industrial cooperation. Poland's participation in Autotech 2026 confirmed that the Polish-Egyptian automotive partnership has a solid foundation and significant potential for further growth.
