Business factories, or middle-sized towns with great potential
They have the potential and human resources, but they lack, for instance, prestigious locations and high-quality education. Although medium-sized towns and the largest regional office markets in Poland are light years apart, the distance may shorten in the near future. How should smaller urban centres be supported in attracting new investment projects from the modern business services sector? In terms of accompanying infrastructure like cinemas, theatres or parks, can they compete with the largest centres? The role of the government’s Factory Programme.

A multitude of changes that makes it difficult to assess the scale of risk
The housing industry is concerned about amendments to the Act on Developers, while commercial properties are looking forward to the abolition of the right of perpetual usufruct… This year alone, about 200 fundamental regulations affecting the commercial property sector have been amended. Investors have one more concern in common – legal and tax changes have been implemented too fast in Poland, without social consultation; they are not precise enough and the rules are being changed during the game. What direction should legal and tax changes in Poland take? What works well and what works poorly?
