A Smart City!

Open and comfortable. A city of tradition and modernity. Gdynia is major commercial and industrial centre. 30% of adults is employed in the maritime sector, which is a natural consequence of city's geographical location. The high technology sector is another basis for the city's growth.

Gdynia boasts unique investment opportunities both in its very centre as well as on the outskirts. On Gdynia's prestigious zone, which is in the waterfront area, there are grounds available for new uses. Nearby, between the port and Downtown Gdynia there is a huge site of nearly 100 hectares for mixed port and city functions. In the past, this area served as a warehouse for exported coal. Today the port is mainly a general cargo port and the largest container terminal on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. In the western part of the city own "silicon valley" expands. The western direction is also an area destined for housing and estate developments.

Local authorities undertake complex actions to make the most of Gdynia's assets. The results of ranking, numerous awards and diplomas placing Gdynia in the highest class in respect of investment attractiveness prove Gdynia's high esteem.

Gdynia is an unquestionable leader in conducting promotion activities. In September 2000, the City together with leading enterprises seeking investors both in Poland and abroad, launched a promotion campaign "Thinking of investing...think Gdynia", which was the first one in Poland organized on such a scale.

In spring 2001, on the initiative of the city, the First International Investment Forum was organised with support from local enterprises. The forum gathered the biggest developers present on the Polish market and in its course full investment opportunities offered by the city were presented. The Forum was organised under the patronage of Polish Prime Minister and Speaker of the Polish Parliament. The following forums were held in Gdynia, the last one under the auspices of Polish President.

The quality of life along with exceptional land values make Gdynia an ideal place to invest in.
