Dolnośląskie voivodeship is situated in south-western Poland and neighbours Germany and the Czech Republic. It is Poland’s most heavily urbanised voivodeship. Many of the region's business firms include foreign capital backing. The basis of Lower Silesia’s economic development have been its natural resources and convenient transport links to Western Europe, coupled with its well-educated population, high level of administrative services and a deep concern for the region’s promotion. The voivodeship’s dynamic development has attracted young people from all over the country. Especially well-developed are the industrial machine, motor and IT-service industries.
