Bydgoszcz Industrial and Technological Park (BPPT) ranks among the newest and at the same time the one of the largest industrial and technology parks in Poland. This is a post-industrial ground which belonged to the Chemical Works ZACHEM until 2005. The mission of the BPPT consists in stimulating local entrepreneurship, attracting external investors and creating new jobs.
Until January 2011 the Company operated under the name Bydgoszcz Industrial Park (BPP). The Intention Agreement pertaining to the establishment of the BPP was signed on September 22, 2003. After one year, on December 21, 2004, the Bydgoszcz Industrial Park Limited Liability Company with its seat in Bydgoszcz was appointed as the entity managing the Park which covers ca. 280 ha of postindustrial grounds. From that time there has been constant development of cubature and infrastructure investments within BPP grounds.
From 2006 to 2008, BPP succeeded to implement a project within the framework of the Sectoral Operational Program, Company Competitiveness Enhancement, activity 1.3: ”Creating conditions conducive to company development”, priority 1.”Company development and innovativeness enhancement through promotion of business environment”. The project resulted in the construction of two industrial halls with administrative and social rooms covering the total area of 6 644,30 m2.
This enterprise also provided for the extension of the building which nowadays houses the seat of the Company – office area increased by 500 m2. The value of this project totaled at 21 063 866,73 PLN, out of this amount the Park was partially reimbursed from the financial means proffered on behalf of the European Regional Development Fund in the amount of 8 863 524,41 PLN.
In June 2010, the Company launched its another investment - the Project "Development of technical infrastructure Bydgoszcz Industrial Park" (co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund under the Regional Operational Programme of the Kuyavia and Pomerania Voivodeship for the years 2007 to 2013, and the state budget).
The Project encompasses development of a new roads infrastructure with lighting, pavements and cycling paths as well as connection of water supply and sewage systems. Along the lanes of roads there will be a possibility for designing and developing heat and gas networks. At present, there are 15kV power and ICT networks being designed and developed in the BPPT area.
