62 Poland as the destination for Shared Services Centers The Tri-city is one of the major centers of national economic growth as well as development and cooperation in and around the Baltic Sea area. Main industrial sectors of the agglomeration include oil refining, paper industry, ship building and a dynamically growing IT sector, but also traditional sectors like maritime industry, fish processing and sea transport. Population 775,700 Area 418 sq km Main investors Atena, Compuware, Energa, FOSFORY, GE Money Bank, Intel, Lotos Group, Lufthansa, Nordea, Prokom, Reuters, Wirtualna Polska, Young Digital Planet Existing BPO centers Intel, Lufthansa Systems, Reuters, ZenSar Technologies Infrastructure The Tri-city area, offering a fully developed infrastructure and crisscrossed by international roads and railway lines, plays an important role in the international trade between Northern and Western Europe and Central and Eastern Europe. Tri-city’s greatest advantage is sea access: two large sea ports Gdańsk and Gdynia, as well as smaller passenger and fishing ports in the surrounding area. There is also a well-developed common transport system (the city train, the inner highway), in addition to each city’s own. Roads International roads: E28 (including the national road S6) from Berlin via Szczecin, Gdańsk to Kaliningrad, Vilnius and Minsk, E75 from Norway and Finland via Łódź, Katowice, Slovakia, Hungary to the Balkans and E77 from Hungary via Slovakia, Poland and the Baltic States to Russia Railways Railway connections to largest Polish cities, i.e. Warsaw, Łódź, Poznań, Katowice, Cracow and Szczecin. International connections to Germany, Czech Rep. and Slovakia, Kaliningrad Oblast (Russia) and Belarus. Airports Lech Wałęsa Airport (10 km from the centers of Gdańsk and Sopot and 23 km from the center of Gdynia); no. of flights in 2008: 23,592; no. of passengers in 2008: 1,951,051; 36 domestic and international connections Maritime navigation Two large sea ports in Gdańsk and Gdynia Special Economic Zones Pomeranian Special Economic Zone Real estate In terms of housing supply, the Tri-city recently noted very dynamic growth (23% in June 2008 compared to June 2007) and no shortages are expected in the nearest future. The office space offered in the Tri-city is located mainly in Gdańsk and Gdynia. Demand is moderate, but the agglomeration has started to attract an increasing number of investors, among them big financial institutions like Santander, Nordea Bank or GE Money Bank. Although preparations for EURO 2012 should strengthen the already dynamic growth, many developers are expected to delay delivery of projects, because of the current financial crisis. Therefore, in the nearest future tenants should not expect a decrease in rental prices. © 2009 KPMG Sp. z o.o. a Polish limited liability company and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International, a Swiss cooperative.
