The Silesian Industrial and Technology Park, located in two cities – Ruda Śląska and
Świętochłowice – along the Katowice and Gliwice intercity road on the Krakow–
Wrocław route, is the largest undertaking of its kind in Poland. Its main goal is the
development of post-industrial terrain and buildings. The Park has been designed for
entrepreneurs, as well as for the economic and social revival of the area.
The Silesian Industrial and Technology Park provides investors with full investment
support. The “Architecture and Construction Industry” Technology and Service
Innovation Incubator has a wide base of office and social spaces with an area of over
5,000 m 2 , conference rooms, as well as an archive and warehousing area located in
the buildings’ basements. The Incubator houses geodetic survey, architecture and
construction companies, which ensures access to all services connected with the
construction process in one place.
The offering for small and medium enterprises includes the rental of office space
(30–120 m 2 ), attractive rental rates, high room standards, exhibition areas and the
proximity of other innovative companies.
During the past seven
years of the Park’s
operations, it has
housed 35 companies
employing
approximately 450
persons. In 2010,
the Silesian Industrial
and Technology Park
received the Golden
Skills and Competences
Laurel awarded by the
Regional Chamber of
Commerce in Katowice.
This was awarded
in the “Successful
Investment” category
for, among others,
building the city’s
new business center,
constant cooperation
and joint projects with
scientists, graduates
and students of
Silesian universities,
and creating
attractive conditions
for entrepreneurs
operating in innovative
and creative industries.
