EIT to bring billions of złoty to Wrocław says Deloitte

"Thanks to the investment, by 2021 the growth of consumption will reach, depending on the scenario, zł.6.3-7.8 billion. Due to this, additional fiscal revenues would stand at zł.593-739 million," said Sebastian Mikosz, a director at Deloitte. According to the report, each złoty invested in the center might bear 2.5 times higher revenues, but it does not take into account the potential effects of the scientific achievements. "One can expect that this influence will be assessed in tens of billion złoty," said the authors of the report. The European Union will invest €2.4 billion in EIT by 2013 and it should enable the closing of the scientific gap with the USA and Japan.
