.
The number of technology parks has tripled
since Poland joined the EU in 2004 and their
combined physical footprint has increased
tenfold. Collectively, the parks have around
1,492.2 ha at their disposal.
By mid-2010, 718 enterprises have found conditions for
running their businesses in technology parks, providing
24,737 jobs. Most of them are small to medium enterprises.
Around one-tenth of these were seeded with foreign capital.
Eleven companies based in parks have been awarded
at international fairs and competitions, while 39 have been
distinguished domestically.
Polish parks represent a very good alternative for foreign
investors. They provide an advanced infrastructure, links
with dynamic businesses and research institutions in Poland
and abroad, access to information, technology transfer,
access to highly qualified workforce, help with administrative
formalities and guidance during the funding process.
The next few years will bring an even more dynamic growth
of technology parks. Thanks in part to the positive effects of
achievements to-date, and combined with economic needs
and financial conditions, several hundred million Euros will
potentially become available to fund their development.
