Summary/Abstract: The paper is devoted to investment of Polish companies abroad. Recently, the activity of Polish companies as regards foreign direct investment (FDI) has increased signifi¬cantly. During the last few years the biggest dynamics of FDI outflows from Poland have been observed and the country has become one of the major investors among the new EU member states. In this context, questions about determinants and some major effects of that activity have raised and remained unanswered for a time. Therefore, this paper’s goal is to comment the main issues referred to the Polish companies’ international expansion and reveal the truth about the Polish FDI in the light of results of the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Edu-cation research project no. 1 H02C 044 30, entitled Foreign Direct Investment of Polish Com¬panies: its Scale, Structure, Determinants, Influence on the Competitiveness conducted by a team of Nicolaus Copernicus University of Toruń in the years 2006-2009.
