The economy of Zachodniopomorskie voivodeship is largely influenced by its geographic location - its direct access to the Baltic Sea (via the Port of Szczecin) and the fact that it neighbours Germany and the Scandinavian countries. The distance between Szczecin, a European seaport and the voivodeship capital, and Berlin is a mere 130 kilometres. Until recently associated with ship-building and agriculture, the region is now developing various economic sectors, primarily the high-tech industries. The voivodeship is also making increasingly better use of renewable energy sources which may be observed in the growing number of wind-driven and thermal power stations.

Investment opportunities

  • direct access to the sea
  • situated at the junction of important international transport routes (North-South and West-East)
  • sited alongside the inside border of European Union with Germany
  • proximity of Western Europe and Scandinavian markets
  • strong industrial base, including seaports
  • large rural and forest areas

  • rapidly-expanding private sector including services

  • well developed road network, including motorway connection with Western Europe
