Population density

West Pomerania is well communicated with foreign countries (good ferry services with Scandinavia and highways linking with motorway system in Western Europe: E65

74 persons/km²

Scandinavia – Prague and E28 Berlin – Gdańsk – Saint Petersburg, under construction expressway S3 connecting Scandinavia with southern Europe through ferry crossing in Świnoujście). West Pomerania has good road and river (sailing towards Lower Silesia) communication with other Polish regions. Location is a crucial factor in determining the direction of development of the region’s economy. West Pomeranian Voivodeship for a long time has been related to shipbuilding industry and fishery. Owing to the fact that more than half of the region are agricultural lands, agriculture and food industry also have good chances for development. Today the region counts on development of other economic sectors, primarily related to modern technologies. In West Pomerania is increasing the number of wind turbines and thermal power stations, that means increasingly high use of renewable energy sources. Wind power is considered as one of high chance sector in voivodeship. Development along with use of modern technologies may significantly support regional economy in voivodeship. Other high chance sectors of the region are: logistics (because of good location and communication) and BPO – Business Process Offshoring (non-productive services to
