The development of the business environment institutions (excluding R&D institutes) in the region constitutes an important factor in terms of the regional investment attractiveness. A particularly crucial role is played by the institutions supporting entrepreneurship, pro-investment solutions, scientific research commercialization as well as the innovativeness of enterprises.

Both domestic and foreign investors interested in locating their capital in the City of Olsztyn can count on comprehensive services at each stage of the investment process, beginning with the location selection, through the available investment incentives system to information on potential partners, staff and socio-economic situation of the given location. As a One-stop-shop, the Entrepreneur Assistance Point operating within the structures of the Promotion and Tourism Office of the Olsztyn City Hall, constitutes a source of current data on city economy and has a database containing contacts to self-governments and business environment institutions acting on behalf of urban and regional development. We remain in constant cooperation with the Self-Government of the Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodeship, the Polish Investment and Trade Agency, the Warmia-Mazury Special Economic Zone and the business environment institutions. Services provided for investors willing to locate their investments in the City of Olsztyn are free of charge.

Within the Olsztyn City Hall entrepreneurship promoting scheme, the National Chamber of Tax Advisers has launched their consulting point in May 2016.

There is also the Warmia-Mazury Special Economic Zone located in Olsztyn, which provides 247.94 ha of land intended for business investments. In addition to well-developed technical utilities, favorable geographical location and wide selection possibility, the main investment incentive is public aid granted to investors.

There is also the Olsztyn Science and Technology Park present here – a place for both enterprises and scientific institutions which: stimulates and manages knowledge and technology transfers between higher education institutions, R&D institutes, enterprises and the market, encourages establishment and development of innovative companies utilizing the incubation processes. Companies located in the Park have at their disposal i.e.: low land and office space rental rates, specialized laboratories, access to modern conference rooms as well as support in the field of new solutions and new technologies implementation.

We encourage investors to cooperate with us and hope our local business environment shall soon be given a boost and get richer in new foreign partners.
