Summary/Abstract: During the 2007–2013 period, the state offered support to entrepreneurs, aimed at the development of export activities. A significant part of it was co-financed by EU funds in two financial perspectives: 2007–2013 and 2014–2020. In both these periods, entrepreneurs could use regional (voivodeship) and national programmes, and some of them could use the programme for the Eastern Poland microregion. The variety of programmes resulted in diversified access to aid for companies, depending on their size (status) and place of business activities (headquarters). Depending on a specific programme, or even its part, the objectives of the support programmes were defined slightly differently. While all of them were to support exporters, some of them focused on the increase in the number of exporters, and others focused on the diversification of export directions. We can observe the effects of these programmes by studying the current number of companies involved in exports, and the almost constant increase in the value of Polish exports year on year. However, the strong concentration of exports on the European market, in particular the European Union market, remains a big challenge.
