Japanese firms attracted by Poland's highly qualified staff and EU membership

Japanese firms are mostly interested in the automotive sector but they are also interested in investing in electronics, energy and the trade and services sectors. Poland's most significant advantages are highly qualified staff and EU membership. PAIiIZ announced that the Agency is currently fighting for investment from Toyota because analysts predict that the firm will soon need a new plant manufacturing 150,000-200,000 vehicles annually. Mikosz explained that Poland's advantage would be the fact that the firm already produces engines here. (Parkiet, p. 9) M.M.
