EU funding drives the creation of new businesses

"This is still a good time for many persons to establish their own company. But the fact that one million people went abroad for work resulted in many companies de-registering," said Małgorzata Starczewska-Krzysztoszek, expert of PKPP Lewiatan. New companies are established mostly in voivodships with large towns or special economic zones, such as Mazowieckie, Silesian, Wielkopolskie and Lower Silesian. "People are encouraged to establish companies with opportunities of acquiring EU funds. This is an important factor while making a decision," said Jacek Szymanderski from the Association of Employers from Warsaw and Mazowsze (SPWiM).
