										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr"><strong>On Monday, 20 July, on the first day of a four-day visit by a Taiwanese delegation, a ceremonial banquet was held at the Main Town Hall in Gdańsk. The City of Gdańsk and the City of Tainan signed a municipal cooperation agreement, laying the foundation for joint projects in the field of advanced technologies. The Pomeranian Development Agency and TAIPO (Taiwan-Poland Chamber of Commerce) concluded the Taiwan-Poland AI Robotics Alliance MoU, opening a new chapter in Pomerania&#8217;s cooperation with Taiwan in the areas of artificial intelligence and robotics.</strong></p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">The event was presided over by Mayor of Tainan Huang Wei-che, who led the business and municipal delegation visiting the Tricity. The delegation also included representatives of TAIPO, headed by President Chao Chung-Chieh, as well as representatives of over a dozen Taiwanese companies from the semiconductor, robotics, and drone sectors.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">Among the guests were representatives of the Polish delegation: Deputy Marshal of the Pomeranian Voivodeship Leszek Bonna, Secretary of State at the Ministry of State Assets Eliza Zeidler, Mayor of Gdańsk Aleksandra Dulkiewicz, and Deputy Mayor of Gdynia Tomasz Augustyniak.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr"><strong>Pomerania as a strategic partner for Taiwanese technology</strong></p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">The signed agreements were the result of cooperation dating back to July 2025, when Invest in Pomerania signed a letter of intent with TAIPO to strengthen economic ties between Pomerania and Taiwan. The aim was to promote the Pomeranian region as an investment destination for Taiwanese companies in the high-tech, electronics, and semiconductor sectors, as well as to explore the possibility of establishing a dedicated industrial park for Taiwanese investors.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">In September 2025, an Invest in Pomerania delegation visited Taiwan, signing a memorandum with the city of Chiayi, holding talks with Tainan and Kaohsiung, and presenting the investment site in Wojanowo to Taiwan&#8217;s Minister of Foreign Affairs. In November, following another TAIPO visit to Pomerania, the project reached Taiwan&#8217;s President William Lai, initiating government-level discussions.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">Cooperation accelerated in spring 2026: in March, a Pomeranian delegation attended the Smart City Summit &amp; Expo in Taipei, and in April TAIPO revisited Pomerania, continuing talks about the Wojanowo park. As a result, the authorities of Tainan entrusted TAIPO with coordinating the initiative, which led to the July delegation visit to the Tricity and the signing of the agreements.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr"><strong>Tainan – Taiwan&#8217;s hub for semiconductors, AI, and biotechnology</strong></p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">Tainan is one of Taiwan&#8217;s most dynamically developing technology centres. The backbone of its economy is the Tainan Science Park, part of the Southern Taiwan Science Park, home to TSMC (with an advanced 3nm production line) and United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC). The city is also developing a national computing centre supporting Taiwan&#8217;s AI ambitions, serves as a hub for biotechnology and medical industry (with over 400 companies in this sector), and is advancing green energy and photovoltaics. Tainan forms a key node of the Southern Taiwan Semiconductor Corridor, connecting it with neighbouring Kaohsiung.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr"><strong>A new impetus for regional development</strong></p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">The signed agreements contribute to building Pomerania&#8217;s position as a regional centre of advanced technologies, developing competencies in AI and robotics alongside investments in energy and logistics infrastructure.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">The delegation&#8217;s visit to the Tricity also included a networking event for Polish and Taiwanese companies at the Pomeranian Science and Technology Park in Gdynia, as well as visits to the Robot Programming Centre at the Gdańsk Science and Technology Park, TMA Automation, and the Port of Gdańsk. These opened further areas for discussion on cooperation in robotics and automation, as well as potential collaboration in agricultural products between Pomerania and Taiwan.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" dir="ltr">Companies associated with the Pomeranian Science and Technology Park also took part in the networking event: Flint Systems, a manufacturer of VR training simulators replicating operational conditions in construction, ports, offshore, and energy sectors; WiRan, an electronics laboratory operator specialising in RF/Microwave technologies, telemetry, IoT, and EMC testing, whose devices are used in satellites, WiFi systems on trains, and air quality sensors across the Tricity; EmbeddedSystems.do, an embedded systems engineering company and creator of the ESLOG system for monitoring food transport conditions; and NavSim Technology Inc., a Canadian developer of marine and inland waterway navigation software and satellite communication systems.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="63" data-end="352"><strong>From March 11–13, Sopot once again became the meeting point for leaders of one of the world’s most strategic industries. The Industry Strategy Symposium Europe (ISS Europe) &#8211; one of the most prestigious events in the semiconductor sector &#8211; was held in Pomerania for the second year in a row.</strong></p>
<p data-start="354" data-end="659">This is a clear signal that the region is gaining importance within Europe’s microelectronics ecosystem. Poland’s return to the ISS calendar highlights the strategic role of Central and Eastern Europe in global supply chains and underscores the need to diversify production amid geopolitical challenges.</p>
<p data-start="661" data-end="704"><strong data-start="661" data-end="702">Key Data and Insights from ISS Europe</strong></p>
<p data-start="706" data-end="1135">Chips have become the foundation of the modern economy, driving artificial intelligence, electromobility, energy, data centers, and defense technologies. The market scale is enormous: in 2025, global semiconductor sales reached nearly $800 billion—a 25% year-on-year increase—with forecasts projecting the market to reach around $1 trillion by 2030. This makes the sector one of the fastest-growing areas of the global economy.</p>
<p data-start="1137" data-end="1647">Three forces are currently driving industry growth: artificial intelligence, energy, and geopolitics. AI is creating increasing demand for advanced integrated circuits, while the expansion of data centers could account for up to 10% of global energy consumption in the coming decades. At the same time, contemporary geopolitics is pushing for more resilient supply chains, making locations in Central and Eastern Europe attractive to Asian investors seeking stable, strategically positioned production bases.</p>
<p data-start="1649" data-end="2080">Today, Europe accounts for only 7% of global chip production, but dominates in equipment and components: European companies generate over 30% of global semiconductor manufacturing equipment sales and over 40% of the components market. The ambitious goals of the European Chips Act aim to increase Europe’s market share from 12% to 20% by 2030, requiring investment in infrastructure, skills development, and regional cooperation.</p>
<p data-start="2082" data-end="2128"><strong data-start="2082" data-end="2126">Pomerania as a Growing Semiconductor Hub</strong></p>
<p data-start="2130" data-end="2477">Pomerania is emerging as one of the fastest-growing technology hubs in Central Europe. The region covers a significant portion of Poland’s semiconductor value chain, including IC design, R&amp;D centers, and a growing startup ecosystem. Companies active in the region include MEP OSM Solutions, Intel, Synopsys, SK hynix, Polski Krzem, and Openchip.</p>
<p data-start="2479" data-end="2742">Additionally, the region is developing strategic energy sources, including offshore wind farms with a capacity of 6–11 GW by 2040 and a planned nuclear power plant with a capacity of 3–3.7 GW, providing stable power for energy-intensive manufacturing processes.</p>
<p data-start="2744" data-end="2779"><strong data-start="2744" data-end="2777">Talent and Skills Development</strong></p>
<p data-start="2781" data-end="3098">Talent is critical. Pomerania is home to over 25 universities and approximately 90,000 students, with more than 5,200 specialists trained at Gdańsk University of Technology alone. The global semiconductor talent shortage is expected to reach 2.6 million by 2030, with Europe facing a gap of around 77,000 positions.</p>
<p data-start="3100" data-end="3427">SEMI has responded to these challenges with university study visits. The first took place a year ago at Gdańsk University of Technology in cooperation with Invest in Pomerania. Since then, the program has reached over 400 students across Europe, highlighting career opportunities and Poland’s role in the global supply chain.</p>
<p data-start="3429" data-end="3479"><strong data-start="3429" data-end="3477">Collaboration and Ecosystems: Key to Success</strong></p>
<p data-start="3481" data-end="3845">The development of Europe’s semiconductor sector no longer depends solely on individual countries or companies. Its success requires coordination across the entire ecosystem: investments, talent, infrastructure, and partnerships. Poland and Pomerania, with their rapidly growing academic and industrial base, can become a strategic link in this European network.</p>
<p data-start="3847" data-end="4443" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node=""><em>&#8211; ISS brings together academia, industry, and policymakers so everyone can stay aligned and keep pace with the industry’s growth. Poland, with its strategic position, draws attention to Central and Eastern Europe. Supply chain resilience requires spreading industry across multiple European countries, not only to develop local ecosystems but also to reduce the impact of future disruptions on the entire semiconductor market. In this way, cooperation between countries, companies, and universities becomes key to success in the coming decade</em> <em>&#8211;</em> summarizes Laith Altimime, President of SEMI Europe.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>RelyOn, an international provider of training and consulting services in occupational safety for the offshore, maritime, and energy sectors, has launched operations at its new location between July and August. The new training center — featuring a professional training pool and soon to be certified by OPTIO — strengthens the competencies of Poland’s offshore and renewable energy sectors.</strong></p>
<p>Located conveniently near the Tri-City bypass, the state-of-the-art facility is equipped with a professional training pool, enabling comprehensive courses in maritime safety, evacuation procedures, and offshore operations. It will serve clients not only from Poland but also from across the Baltic and North Sea regions.</p>
<p><strong>The Highest Level of Certification</strong></p>
<p>This will be the first training center in the Tri-City area to obtain OPTIO certification — an international accreditation and standardization system for educational programs in the maritime and energy industries. The OPTIO certificate confirms full compliance with global standards in safety, training quality, and infrastructure.</p>
<p>– <em>The opening of this new center marks another step in the development of our services and a response to the growing market demand for highly qualified specialists working in offshore environments </em>– said <strong>Witold Szczepkowski from RelyOn. </strong>– <em>Our goal is to provide trainees with practical, realistic conditions that reflect the true challenges of working at sea.</em></p>
<p data-start="1627" data-end="1654"><strong>High Voltage Training</strong></p>
<p>By the end of the year, the center’s offer will also include High Voltage training, covering safe work practices with high-voltage systems in maritime and industrial installations. The program has been developed in accordance with international standards and in consultation with partners from the offshore wind and energy sectors.</p>
<p><em>– Poland is rapidly developing its offshore wind energy infrastructure, and we need a skilled workforce ready to operate in the most demanding conditions. RelyOn supports this growth by providing training tailored to the real needs of investors and operators in the renewable energy sector – emphasized <strong>Mikołaj Trunin, Deputy Director of Invest in Pomerania.</strong></em></p>
<p>RelyOn’s new investment is part of a broader trend of building a strong competence base to support the energy transition in the Baltic Sea region. The growing network of training centers, laboratories, and research institutions strengthens Pomerania’s position as a key offshore hub in Central Europe — while enhancing the global competitiveness of Polish companies in the maritime and renewable energy sectors.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>LEMAN, one of the oldest logistics operators in Europe, has opened a Shared Services Center in Gdańsk. The new office not only supports the group’s operations worldwide, but is also steadily expanding its team – offering regional specialists the opportunity to grow in an international environment.</strong></p>
<p>With over 125 years of tradition, LEMAN is a global logistics company that has been operating in Poland since January 2025 via its newly launched Service Hub in Gdańsk. This marks a significant milestone for the enterprise, which was founded in 1900 in Copenhagen and today employs around 800 people across 12 countries on three continents. The company offers comprehensive services in ocean, air, and road freight, warehousing, and customs clearance.</p>
<p><strong>Strategic Processes and New Roles</strong></p>
<p>The new office in the Tricity plays a strategic role in LEMAN’s global value chain. The Gdańsk team is responsible for key support processes that enable the group’s operations around the world – from finance and IT to HR, operational support, data analysis, and process optimization. This allows the company’s operational branches to focus on client relationships and market development.</p>
<p>Currently, the Gdańsk office employs around 68 people, and the company plans further team expansion. LEMAN is looking for specialists in finance, accounting, IT support, data analytics, and HR administration. The company also plans to collaborate with local universities.</p>
<p>– <em>The team in the Tricity supports key business processes for the entire Group, allowing operational units to fully focus on the customer. Poland, with its central location and excellent talent pool, was a natural choice for us. We are excited to build a strong team here and grow alongside the region</em> – said <strong>Tomasz Szewciów</strong>, <strong>Managing Director of LEMAN Service Hub Poland</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Partnership at Every Stage</strong></p>
<p>LEMAN’s entry into the region was supported by <strong>Invest in Pomerania</strong> – a regional initiative coordinated by the <strong>Pomerania Development Agency</strong>. A dedicated team of experts assisted the company at each critical stage of the project, providing key market insights, facilitating connections, and laying the groundwork for long-term investment growth. As a result, Gdańsk emerged as a natural strategic location for LEMAN’s operations.</p>
<p><strong>People Make the Region Strong</strong></p>
<p>The decision to locate in the Tricity was driven by access to highly qualified talent, excellent transport connectivity, and a dynamic business environment that has long attracted international shared services centers.</p>
<p>– <em>LEMAN’s presence in Pomerania demonstrates that our region is not only a logistics gateway to Europe, but also a place where global companies are locating increasingly strategic functions</em> – said <strong>Marcin Grzegory</strong>, <strong>Deputy Director of Invest in Pomerania</strong>. – <em>A stable business environment and effective cooperation between local authorities and regional partners are reinforcing the Tricity’s position on the global shared services map – translating into high-quality jobs and continuous skills development across the region.</em></p>
<p>LEMAN emphasizes that its expansion in Poland aligns with its strategy of <strong>sustainable and inclusive growth</strong> – investing in CO₂-reducing solutions and prioritizing employee empowerment in line with its guiding principle:<br />
<strong>“Proudly driven by People”</strong> – across recruitment and career development practices.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>On September 18, during the Gala of the Follow The Leaders conference, Tricity was recognized as the Best Location for the Business Services Sector (BSS) in the PRO Tiger competition.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><strong>On 15 September 2025, in the Coat of Arms Hall of the Marshal’s Office of the Pomeranian Voivodeship, an agreement was signed for the creation of one of the region’s most important strategic projects – the Pomeranian Technology and Industrial Park in Wojanowo, located in the Gmina of Pruszcz Gdański.</strong></p>



<p>The park will be developed on an area of over 500 hectares and will focus on investments in advanced technologies, including semiconductors, e-mobility, and high-tech industries. The agreement was signed by Mieczysław Struk, Marshal of the Pomeranian Voivodeship; Leszek Bonna, Deputy Marshal; Weronika Chmielowiec, Mayor of the Gmina of Pruszcz Gdański; Piotr Ciechowicz and Rafał Dubel, Vice Presidents of the Pomerania Development Agency; Mirosław Kamiński and Błażej Konkol, President and Vice President of the Pomeranian Special Economic Zone; and Michał Kaźmierczuk, Management Board Member of POLHOZ Sp. z o.o., the owner of the site.</p>



<p>Thanks to its strategic location near the Tricity metropolitan area and the A1 motorway, the adoption of a local development plan, completion of geological surveys, and a single landowner, the project offers not only operational advantages but also unique development potential.</p>



<p>— <em>“Our aim is not just for the Pomeranian region to keep up with global change, but to co-create it,”</em> said <strong>Mieczysław Struk, Marshal of the Pomeranian Voivodeship</strong><em>. “This agreement reflects our ambition and readiness to invest in the future. Together, we are building the conditions for the development of technologies that will shape the competitiveness of Poland and Europe.”</em></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Synergy of Competencies</strong></h2>



<p>The signatories committed to close cooperation in spatial planning, investment promotion, site preparation, investor support, and creating favorable conditions for the development of the high-tech industry.</p>



<p>The Pomerania Development Agency will be responsible for preparing the investment offer, promoting the project at international industry events, and providing direct investor services. Meanwhile, the Pomeranian Special Economic Zone will support investor acquisition by offering, among other benefits, preferential tax relief (including CIT exemptions).</p>



<p>— <em>“The cooperation between public institutions, local governments, and the private sector allows us to effectively respond to the needs of even the most demanding investors,”</em> said <strong>Sławomir Kosakowski, President of the Pomerania Development Agency</strong>. <em>“We are creating an ecosystem where not only location matters, but also access to qualified talent, scientific infrastructure, and stable, clean energy sources – from Polish nuclear power plants and offshore wind farms to an expanding green energy sector.”</em></p>



<p><strong>Weronika Chmielowiec, Mayor of the Gmina of Pruszcz Gdański,</strong> added:</p>



<p>— <em>“The creation of this technology and industrial park is a strategically significant investment that will not only attract new investors but also drive the development of the entire municipality. Our priority is to ensure that the project benefits residents – by creating new jobs, supporting local businesses, and contributing to the expansion of the technical infrastructure that we all use.”</em></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>International Cooperation</strong></h2>



<p>For the past three years, the Invest in Pomerania team – a strategic initiative coordinated by the Pomerania Development Agency – has actively participated in semiconductor sector events across Europe and East Asia to ensure that the project is built upon proven international best practices.</p>



<p>In June, a delegation including representatives from Invest in Pomerania, the Gmina of Pruszcz Gdański, and local universities visited Saxony, Germany’s semiconductor capital, where existing industry-specific parks are already operational, and a new one is under construction. Meetings with Silicon Saxony, regional authorities, and TU Dresden allowed for a direct exchange of knowledge about successful public-private partnership models and comprehensive investor support systems. Recommendations from this visit – such as the &#8220;one-stop shop&#8221; approach and aftercare programs for employees – have been incorporated into the Pomeranian project.</p>



<p>Last week, during <strong>Semicon Taiwan</strong>, the teams from Invest in Pomerania and the Pomeranian Special Economic Zone presented the region’s investment model and the Wojanowo Park project to potential partners from Asia. Key moments of the visit included:</p>



<ul>
<li>A meeting with Taiwan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, <strong>Lin Chia-Lung</strong>, focusing on Poland–Taiwan cooperation and presenting the Pomeranian Technology and Industrial Park in Wojanowo.</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li>A visit to Chiayi City, including talks with Mayor <strong>Liu Pei-Tung</strong> and representatives of the Asia UAV AI Innovation Application R&amp;D Center. Discussions focused on the applications of drones and AI in smart cities. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the City of Chiayi, the UAV R&amp;D Center, and the Polish side.</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li>Meetings in Tainan, Taiwan’s oldest city, where agreements were signed to support cooperation between Tainan and the Pomeranian region in the fields of technology and the semiconductor industry.</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Direction: Growth and Specialisation</strong></p>



<p>The park in the Gmina of Pruszcz Gdański has the potential to become a gateway for high-tech investment in Central and Eastern Europe. The project has already been included in strategic documents of the Ministry of Development and Technology, the Industrial Development Agency, and the Polish Development Fund, underlining its national importance.</p>



<p>In the coming months, work on updating the local spatial development plan is expected to be completed, followed by intensified investment promotion efforts (including at the upcoming SEMICON event) and further actions aimed at aligning the Pomeranian region with the broader European strategy for the development of the semiconductor industry.</p>
