The World Bank evaluated the achievements of Poland's Invest in Pomerania agency to date in supporting and promoting regional investments and prepared a substantive contribution to the new strategy of the initiative for 2022-2027.

The development of a new Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Strategy for Invest in Pomerania, the regional investment promotion agency, comes at a critical moment to support the region’s new economic development objectives.

Having reached its tenth anniversary, the agency finds itself at an important crossroads as it seeks to develop its new investment promotion strategy for 2022 – 2027. The Pomerania region has recently launched the “Development Strategy of the Pomeranian Voivodeship 2030,” which outlines transformational priorities to advance the region’s development and increase economic growth. At the same time, global megatrends, including the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, tightening trade policies, and geopolitical tensions dramatically change the global landscape for FDI, highlighting the critical importance of developing and adopting a new FDI strategy for Invest in Pomerania.

The World Bank has provided two technical reports on the investment promotion strategy for Invest in Pomerania.
