The team, representing the business community, will draft recommendations to reduce bureaucratic barriers for entrepreneurs.
During a government meeting on Tuesday, Tusk confirmed his first meeting with the group.
"I will meet with a team working on deregulation from the business perspective, led by Rafał Brzoska, who accepted my proposal," Tusk said at the time.
On Monday, at the "Poland: A Year of Change" conference, Tusk invited Brzoska to form a team to rapidly prepare deregulation measures.
"I need to know exactly what my administration must do to make things easier for you," he told business leaders.
Brzoska responded on social media, writing: "The Prime Minister said, 'You want deregulation? Then propose concrete solutions.' That is exactly what we will do."
Meanwhile, a separate deregulation bill from the Ministry of Development and Technology awaits parliamentary review.
Published in April last year, the bill aims to simplify business regulations and improve the legal environment for companies. It was sent to the Government Standing Committee in January and is expected to proceed to parliament soon.
The bill was developed with input from the Deregulation and Economic Dialogue Team, formed under the previous administration.
Mariusz Filipek, who leads the team, called it the "first deregulation package" and confirmed work is underway on a second set of reforms.
"This legislation is the result of extensive work and consultations, incorporating around 200 business recommendations," he said, adding that Tusk's initiative focuses on non-legislative changes.
"These proposals will complement existing legislative efforts," he said. "Involving a respected entrepreneur in deregulation is a great idea, and I look forward to cooperating."
Agnieszka Majewska, spokeswoman for small and medium-sized enterprises, welcomed Brzoska’s involvement.
"He represents large businesses, but small and medium enterprises are key to supply chains; I hope we collaborate to simplify regulations for all entrepreneurs," she said.
Szymon Witkowski, chief legal advisor at Employers of Poland, praised Tusk’s decision but emphasized a need for coordination with existing efforts.
"We must ensure that previous work is not wasted or duplicated," he said, adding that deregulation must be a continuous process.
"New obstacles arise as laws evolve," Witkowski also said. "Removing bureaucratic barriers must be ongoing."
He cited regulatory burdens, such as requiring temporary employment agencies to hire foreign workers only under employment contracts, which businesses argue increases costs.
Another example is archiving receipts for employee meal vouchers, which he called an "absurd bureaucratic requirement."
Polish businesses have long pushed for reduced red tape but often faced government inaction.
"The prime minister’s initiative is a positive sign the government is finally listening to business," Witkowski said. "We hope this leads to real reductions in administrative burdens."
