Wrocław's new high-tech park

The new facility will be located on ul. Na Grobli, next to the city's University of Technology. It will include a complex of laboratories, warehouses and offices equipped with the latest technology.

The new development will also offer an opportunity for academics and students of the University of Technology to commercialize their ideas.

"Thanks to this project, we will finally create a scientific consulting center that will serve and help small- and medium-sized companies from our region," said Professor Edward Chlebus, director of the Institute of Automation and Machine Technology at Wrocław University of Technology.

"We will help in the transfer of the latest technological solutions directly into the relevant industry, and the profits our Innovation and Business Park gains will be used for the development of new projects and technologies."

The British Embassy in Poland helped get the project off the ground. It was looking for partners in Poland interested in participating and developing a CUE project.

The number of students, the region's unemployment rate, the location and its economic development were all considered by the British investor.

Representatives from Kraków, Gdańsk, Warsaw and Wrocław presented their offers to Coventry University, from which Wrocław's proposal was chosen.

Wrocław's Park will be similar to one that already exists in Coventry, with a particular emphasis on its scientific facilities.
