Poland’s location is beneficial for business.
The country is located at the very centre of Europe. It borders on both the EU Member States, and the Eastern European countries.
Poland is the only country within the Continent to have confidently withstood the widespread financial and economic crisis that appeared on the horizon in 2009.
No wonder global investors are beginning to perceive Poland as a ‘green island’ amid economically challenged states all around.

“A strong driver of Poland’s investment attractiveness is access to a large number of specialists. It is human capital that is one of the strongest assets of the Polish companies which attracts leading investors from all over the world. In addition, this allows for an expansion in operations of companies already present here. The Polish market is also attractive in terms of business, thanks to its scale and untapped potential as well as rapid development of local companies. These local companies increasingly establish cooperation with international providers who offer business optimization solutions. An example of such cooperation are Capgemini’s projects for the energy, telecommunications and financial industries, the scale of which increases every year.”

“When in 2010 together with our partner JP Weber we planned an investment in Strzelce Opolskie, we did not expected that the project will be so successful. We did not focus only on maintaining good contacts with companies from Wrocław electronic sector, but also, in 2011, we extended the production for Korean customers from automotive industry in Upper Silesia who supply parts of KIA and Hyundai in Czech Republic and Slovakia. Thanks to good relations with authorities, we were able to build new factory in only six months. We employed over 400 people in 18 months. The strategic location of A4 motorway between large urban areas provide us proximity to our strategic clients. The growing presence of Korean investments open new opportunities."
