It has many investment advantages, attracting national and foreign capital. The presence of secondary schools and universities, including those with polytechnic faculties, creates favourable conditions for the development of industry. Preferential conditions for doing business exist above all in the areas of the three Special Economic Zones: Kostrzyn-Słubice SEZ, Walbrzych SEZ and Legnica SEZ.
