Special Economic Zone Łódź

PL | EN

Established in 1997, The Łódź Special Economic Zone covers the Łódź Voivodeship, part of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship and the eastern part of the Greater Poland Voivodeship. The zone is located at the intersection of two highways A1 (north-south) and A2 (east-west). There are two international airports located on the zone's territory (Warsaw and Łódź) and an extensive cargo rail network, including the Poland-China railway connection (Łódź-Chengdu) – these give the Łodz Special Economic Zone a huge logistic potential. Its strategic location, access to well-educated employees, as well as tax incentives, have made the Łódź SEZ in recent years, among the world's leading zones, in the ranking prepared by the FDI Magazine (part of the Financial Times group).
