The Polish-French Nuclear Industry Day, the fifth of its kind, was organized under the high patronage of H.E. the French Ambassador to Poland Frédéric Billet, in cooperation with IGEOS and GIFEN, and was attended by representatives of the Polish Ministry of Climate and Environment. The objective was to foster cooperation between Polish and French companies in support of EDF’s preliminary offer for the delivery of 4 to 6 EPR units in Poland.

With the participation of more than 210 attendees representing more than 90 companies, the event was a major success enabling about 200 business-to-business meetings to boost cooperation between Polish and French companies in the fields of design, construction, and operation of EPR nuclear power plants in Poland and potentially worldwide.

On this occasion, EDF entered into new cooperation agreements with 5 additional Polish companies, thereby confirming their pre-qualification to participate into potential EPR projects: Polimex Mostostal, Sefako, Telefonika Kable, Uniserv and ZRE Katowice. Cooperation agreements were also concluded between Bouygues Travaux Publics and Budimex S.A. as well as between IGEOS and GIFEN. These agreements follow the signature of 5 cooperation agreements in December 2021 in France with Zarmen, Rafako, Dominion, Egis Polska and EPG.

On the 23rd of June, EDF further organized together with AFCEN a Nuclear Quality Seminar gathering 100 participants to get prepared to nuclear codes and norms. 
EDF is more determined than ever to be selected as a strategic partner for implementing the Polish Nuclear Power Programme (PPEJ). In order to achieve that goal, EDF is committed to partnering with the Polish supply chain for the success of EPR projects in Poland and in Europe. EDF’s ambition in Poland is very clear and has never varied: it is to deliver an integrated offer, based on a European technology and a European supply chain, to contribute to energy independence, security of supply and energy transition. 
EDF warmly thanks all representatives of Polish and French companies that participated in those events and looks forward to seeing new partnerships arising following those 2 days, enlarging and fostering the European nuclear industry.

Let’s build a long-term partnership together!
