REGIONAL REPORT:
Project Management Update from Kraków
By Artur Bialy
International Correspondent for PMForum
& PM World Today
Kraków, Poland
Poland is expected to be a leading centre for research and development in Europe especially in the IT field. The number of scientists holding master degrees in computer science is constantly growing. There is also observable employment growth in this sector, in each type of research and development unit.
Foreign investors are keenly interested in Poland especially because of the large highly educated and competitive workforce, as well as conditions favorable for establishing businesses. Companies perceive great possibilities for their own development in the R&D sector. They are looking especially for financial benefits. Development of the R&D sector is also very advantageous for Poland’s economy, because it stimulates the implementation of high technology in Poland as well as gives direct access to the scientific methodology applied in the most developed countries.
According to the “Investment Attractiveness in Poland” report – published by the Institute of Economic Research - Krakow and the Region of Małopolska are considered to be highly attractive development locations in Poland. While there are other competitors, Krakow is the leader amongst other cities in the Region, attracting the majority of businesses willing to invest in commercial development activity.
