“Our aim is to promote all sectors that are active in the region, not only the tourism, Warmia and Mazury is associated with”, said Gustaw, Marek Brzezin, Marshal of Warmia and Mazury province. Participants of the meeting that was held in PAIiIZ on 16 November, argued that Warmia and Mazury is a perfect area for rest and recreation but at the same time it is an attractive location for the smart business.

T. Pisula: “PAIiIZ cannot support foreign investors without intensive cooperation with Polish regions”

Regional authorities use these competitive advantages to support investment in the tourism, healthy food production, water economics, yachting and wood sectors, but at the same time they support the development of new specializations and innovative projects in the region.

The organizers of the event was the Marshal's Office of Warmia and Mazury Province and the Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency. (PAIiIZ)
