  • Subcarpathian Voivodeship)
    Project co-financed by the Minister of Economic Development Business and Local Government, Finance, Economy, Innovation BUSINESS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT, FINANCE, ECONOMY, INNOVATIONS We are pleased to present to you a publication in which we describe the Pol- ish investment and export potential. In the first part, we present the regions that, according to the results of regional analyses, generate the highest percentage of domestic exports or show continuous development in this direction. The second part of the publication is dedicated to the presentation of Polish companies that are conquering the Polish export market and focusing largely on innovation in their business models. The voivodeships we present include, among others, the Masovian and Silesian regions, which generate almost a quarter of national exports. The value of the ex- port market in these regions as well as in Greater Poland exceeds EUR 20 billion. In recent years, other regions, such as Lower Silesian Voivodeship, have recorded the greatest increase in the value of exported goods. Zygmunt Berdychowski Chairman of the Economic Forum The synthetic summaries include a compendium of knowledge about the Programme Council voivodeships, thanks to which a potential investor or entrepreneur who wants to start or develop a business in Poland will find information about the location, net- work of connections, transport accessibility, level of urbanization, sectoral structure of enterprises, employment structure, percentages regarding projects with foreign capital. Of course, we also point out the innovation of a given voivodeship and smart specializations of the region. They include, among others, modern medicine, information technologies and energy. In the second part, you will find profiles of over 20 selected Polish companies that want to expand their cooperation with foreign partners.

  • LOCAL GOVERNMENT and LOCAL LABOR ECONOMICS in PILA in the LATE 20Th CENTURY and the BEGINNING of the 21Stcentury
    STUDIA HISTORIAE OECONOMICAE UAM Vol. 30 Poznań 2012 Jan Miłosz (Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań) LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND LOCAL LABOR ECONOMICS IN PILA IN THE LATE 20th CENTURY AND THE BEGINNING OF THE 21stCENTURY In, the beginning of the 20th century, Pila was a provincial administrative centre and a rail junction. In the late 20th century, of the will of the communist decision-makers, it became the capital of Pila Voivodeship. Political transformation of 1989, and, as a result, Pila’s degradation back to the small­ town administrative centre has led to a diminishing of Pila’s economical attractiveness. Actions un­ dertaken by the local government and its cooperation, both with the neighbouring localities and the economical community made it possible to control the degradation process. Concurrently, the at­ tempts to seek new areas of activity, such as building a new research centre and numerous econom­ ical initiatives funded by the region and the EU have given the local community an inspiration to make a change and have increased the social potential of the area. Keywords: unemployment, demography, local economy, local government, higher education. For the inhabitants of the northern Greater Poland the turn of the cen­ tury was yet another turning point in its history. The past century was full of changes – changing the region’s national character in 1945, frequent ad­ ministrative changes (1950, 1975, 1999), and finally, Pila’s return to the rec­ reated Pila County and the Pila County returning to the administrative borders of the Greater Poland Voivodeship. As a result of the post-war mi­ gration, the local community could only be described as a melting pot.
