Investments in Gdynia

Gdynia is located at the intersection of important sea, land and railway routes. The most significant regular connection isthe routeto Karlskrona, which for Poland is a gateway to Scandinavia.

Apart from traditional branches of industry, which gave rise to the city - today information technology, biotechnology, etc. are at the top. Pomeranian Science and Technology Park (PSTP) was created upon the initiative of Gdynia's local government with huge financial support from the European Union. About 100 inovative companies are located here. At present the PSTP is under extension process, and in two years' time it will increase its potential.

Recent years have been full of investments in road infrastructure, which has resulted in the increase in transshipment in port, growing activity in the banking sector, a low unemployment rate and high quality of life and wealth of the inhabitants.

The biggest and most significant one is Kwiatkowskiego Route opened in 2008. It connects the container and ferry terminals with the network of national and international roads. Port of Gdynia Authority joined in the modernization of Gdynia's road system. The Port co-financed rebuilding of port bypass - Janka Wisniewskiego Street, which was finished almost simultaneously with Kwiatkowskiego Route. The European Union helped financially in realizing those projects. Also, a logistics centre will be of use for further development of the port and companies.

Port of Gdynia Authority cooperates with the Pomeranian Special Economic Zone in order to incorporate the area of prospective logistic centre into the Zone and provide investors with attractive conditions. It is being built next to Kwiatkowskiego Route -in the neighborhood of container terminals and close vicinity of side tracks of Polish railways connecting the area with the main railway line E65 (Tricity-Warsaw,Tricity-Silesia).

Another impulse for the development of the city and whole region will be the realization of an ambitious project of adaptation of military airport in Gdynia-Kosakowo (Ba-bie Doły) into civil purposes. The airport is perfectly located, both when it comes to meteorological conditions and location in relation to the city and coastline. The area covers 700 ha and has a huge reserve of land for necessary commercial infrastructure.
