Infrastructure
Małopolska offers modern infrastructure for development of business activities: attractive investment areas, warehousing space, production facilities and modern office buildings. We also have a very well-developed scientific and research and development base.
Business parks
These are separated and comprehensively prepared areas for investment, meeting the needs of potential investors, most often established by local governments. The business parks have spatial development plans providing for production or service activities, a network of internal roads and infrastructure. Plots within the parks have areas optimized for locating business-related facilities.
Warehousing market
The favorable location of Małopolska, among others due to access to roads enabling easy communication with any site in Poland and Europe, is a reason why it is worth investing and locating warehouse spaces in this region.

Polish Investment Zone in Małopolska
In accordance with the Act on the principles of supporting new investments of 2018, the entire Poland has become a special economic zone. The regulations allow tax exemptions for investors for 12-15 years. Not only large, but also medium-sized, small and micro-companies can benefit from various incentives. The Polish Investment Zone replaced the previous rules applicable in special economic zones.
