Pomeranian Science & Technology Park in Gdynia

Science and technology parks have a long tradition and an interesting history all over the world. The Pomeranian Science & Technology Park (PSTP) in Gdynia is quite a new initiative developing since 2002.

Gdynia Authorities found that idea to be a very good instrument for supporting hi-tech companies and an impulse stimulating new investors - which makes local economy more competitive. PSTP is a space managed by a professional team that organises and provides diversified services. Its main aim is to stimulate the culture of quality and innovation as well as the creation of knowledge- and innovation-based companies through incubation and spin-off processes. Special attention is devoted to the transfer of modern, advanced technologies in order to form a basis for the creation and development of new enterprises. International cooperation plays an important role. PSTP together with the Klaipeda Science and Technology Park (Lithuania) will realise a joint project focused on the stimulation of cross-border contacts related to technology transfer and implementation of innovations into enterprises. Thanks to the creation of a modern conference infrastructure, with a possibility to organize videoconferences, the communication between cooperating Science & Technology Parks as well as entrepreneurs, inventors and scientists from both regions will be easier. It will influence the intensification of joint activities aimed at economic development based on knowledge and innovations.

Initiatives of this kind - such as science and technology parks - influence the diversification of regional economy. PSTP creates a good climate and a nice environment for business growth and technology development within the whole Pomeranian Region. Nowadays, in PSTP there operate 25 innovative companies (related to biotechnology, environmental protection, IT, and industrial design). In the year 2006 another 9000m2 of modern laboratory and office space will be available for new businesses within the Park, as well as a conference complex, boardrooms, exhibition halls, relaxation areas and canteens. PSTP in Gdynia is always open for innovative ideas and open-minded people.
