Ryszard Brejza

Mayor of Inowrocław

Not long ago people said that the busy bees of Polish business were big cities like Warsaw, Poznań, Wrocław and the Silesian conurbations. Meanwhile, there is a place in central Poland where business takes on a completely different meaning. It is Kujawsko-Pomorskie province, specifically Inowrocław.

Good for investment, modern and ecological - these are the characteristics attributed to this dynamically developing city. This is confirmed by the entrepreneurs who have businesses here, who list many benefits of establishing their companies in this particular city. Economic growth is made possible, among other things, by the professional support offered by the city authorities.

Closer than you think

More than 6,000: this is the number of entrepreneurs who have picked Inowrocław. The city owes its strong position to the printing, food, spa, transport, mining, chemical and plastics industries. Services and trade are also developing well. One extremely important issue for all entrepreneurs is infrastructure, which fosters business development. Entrepreneurs locating their businesses in Inowrocław offer their products and services not only locally; many of them also operate on world markets. Inowrocław is located in central Poland, at the crossroads of major trade and transport routes (road and rail). It lies on the shortest route from Wielkopolska to Masuria, in close proximity to two freeways: the A1 and A2, thanks to which it has access to all regions of Poland and the biggest cities in the country. These features enable companies to expand their operations beyond the borders of the province, giving Inowrocław a competitive edge over other parts of Poland in terms of investment.

Pro-business approach

Stacks of papers, applications, files, signatures. Not here! At Inowrocław City Hall every investor is supported by the Investor Assistance Office, both during the whole administrative procedure and later. Relationship building, responsibility and cooperation are values that will bring together those who plan to start a business in Inowrocław. Every investment project can count on support and assistance from the city, and thanks to cooperation with business-related institutions and the attractive terms they offer, more and more investors use them. Among other things, this is due to cooperation with business environment institutions and with regional and national support institutions, to mention the Prince Kazimierz Kujawski Higher School of Entrepreneurship in Inowrocław, the Higher School of Economics, the Polish Agency of Investment and Trade, the Pomeranian Special Economic Zone, the Toruń Regional Development Agency, the Centre for Investor and Exporter Assistance in Toruń, the Bydgoszcz Regional Development Agency, the Polish Foundation for Enterprise Development, the Kujawy Expert Foundation and the County Labor Office.

Investment-focused Inowrocław

The city beltway is definitely the biggest road investment project in Inowrocław’s history. It is a joy to the locals, who suffered the noise and pollution of trucks crossing their city for decades, but also to many entrepreneurs running businesses in Inowrocław. After many years of efforts from the Inowrocław city authorities and residents, a 19-kilometer section of the beltway with three interchanges was opened in 2017, and as of November 2019 you can also drive along the 5-kilometer section between Sławęcinek and the Latkowo interchange.

“I promised I would finish the battle for the beltway. Our efforts have ended in success,” comments Mayor Ryszard Brejza.

“We have been able to complete a great many projects thanks to EU funds and cooperation with the provincial self-government,” he adds. “We utilize the EU support in full. There is still a lot to be done. I am confident we can fulfill all our plans and ideas to make Inowrocław even more beautiful and more innovative in the coming years, so that we can be as proud of it as I am today.”

In response to the growing expectations of prospective investors, the city of Inowrocław offers land comprehensively prepared for investment, divided into four zones: Northern, Western, Eastern, and the Solanki Investment Area. Each of these zones is designed for a different type of business.

The Northern and Western zones are designated in the local zoning plan as land for services, industry, manufacturing facilities, depots, warehouses, service buildings. Both zones comprise vacant land. The Northern zone is located on the city outskirts near national highway No. 25, while the Western zone lies near provincial road No. 251 between Inowrocław and Żnin, in close proximity to the Inowrocław–Poznań main railway line. The Eastern zone comprises over 6 hectares of land intended for services. The fourth zone – the Solanki Investment Area – is located in the Brine Park, close to the Modrzew Health Spa, the Pump Room / Palm House, and the new part of the Brine Park. The zone is designated as land for services related to the health resort’s operations, culture, entertainment as well as retail services indicated in the health resort regulations, catering services, hotel and health facilities, and administration buildings.

All necessary information about the land Inowrocław offers for investment is available from the www.inwestuj.inowroclaw.pl website or directly from the Investor Assistance Office.

Business with a mission

The times when all that mattered in business was making money are gone. A responsible and sustainable approach to business is expected in an era of increased environmental awareness. This is exactly what is happening in Inowrocław, a city where ecology is the focus of attention. Inowrocław is one of the best-known health resorts in Poland. The Brine Park on almost 85 hectares together with one of the largest graduation towers in Poland influence the rapidly developing spa business and tourism. Spa owners are constantly investing in the development of accommodation infrastructure; more and more spa centers, hotels and guesthouses are being built. As befits an ecological city, Inowrocław also has 100% ecological public transport, which makes it a leader in Poland.
