Lubelskie voivodeship is situated in east-central Poland. It is a primarily agricultural region known for its cultivation of, amongst other things, hops, raspberries and tobacco. It is also a prominent academic centre with impressive scientific-research facilities especially in the natural and medical sciences. It also has an industrial tradition in the industrial machine and motor sectors. The voivodeship is bent on the development of innovative branches of the economy on the basis of its existing research potential. With a view to the quality of the natural environment, investments connected with ecological products are being pursued in the agro-food industry. The region’s natural resources as well as the scientific research being conducted at its institutions of higher learning have led to the development of Renewable Energy Sources. The region’s young, well-educated professionals constitute a great potential for the development of its Business Process Outsourcing sector.
