Compared to January last year, the number of active firms with Belarusian roots decreased by almost 6%. Companies continue to register: out of the active organizations, 873 appeared in 2025. The decrease in the number of companies can be explained by the suspension of activity of previously registered firms or the withdrawal of Belarusian participants from the founders.
Most firms with Belarusian roots operate in the Masovian Voivodeship (3,860), including 3,361 in Warsaw. Border regions traditionally follow: Podlaskie Voivodeship (805 companies, of which 723 are registered in Białystok) and Lublin Voivodeship (465 firms, of which only 89 operate in Lublin, and 300 in Biała Podlaska, a border city where many transportation companies are registered). Belarusian business is also active in Lower Silesia (461 companies, including 401 in Wrocław) and Pomerania (426 companies, of which 325 are in Gdańsk).
Most companies operate in the freight transportation sector — 960, but this is 13% less than in January last year. Major industries also include software (399, but a 9% decrease compared to early 2025 is notable), and construction of residential and non-residential buildings (342, or 22% less than a year earlier).
Among Belarusian organizations, the transport and logistics company TELS Global Polska became the leader in terms of revenue. Companies from the same sector, TI Group and Rezon Trans, follow.
The Top 20 also includes several companies from the IT industry: Innowise, Vention Development, 314Devs, Kaseya Poland, IBA Poland, PandaDoc Poland.
The Top 20 is concluded by Sahaty, a company engaged in construction and development. Its co-owner is Valery Sakhashchyk, former representative of the United Transitional Cabinet on National Security.
Compared to 2025, the oil trader Beloil Polska, which fell under sanctions, left the list of leaders. Polcarbotrans, a company engaged in the import and sale of coal, remained on the list of leaders but decreased its position.
