The city’s key advantage is its residents - their qualifications, education and command of foreign languages. Szczecin is a city with a logistical attractiveness that has not been fully discovered – after all it has an undeniable and huge potential for business development. This particularly favourable investment climate, with conditions above the national average, offers large local market capacity, the high quality of the labour market, the good social climate and the good condition of the logistical infrastructure, which allows the fast development and diffusion of investment undertakings. Szczecin also has the ideal conditions for the development of logistics companies, as it is a multi-modal logistics hub. The city’s main advantage is its attractive location close to the border, which makes it a perfect place for network investments. Apart from the road, rail and inland connections, and access to the sea, the investment attractiveness is further enhanced by the immediate vicinity of the SzczecinGoleniów Airport. It is a key element in the economic development, forming the so-called Oder Transport Corridor.

Mariusz Jedliński, PhD Professor at the Szczecin University the Faculty of Management and Economics of Services >>> INVESTMENTS Szczecin is a city which creates favourable investment conditions and a good entrepreneurial climate. The constant progress and improvement in the quality of life in the city has encouraged many concerns to choose Szczecin as their location for investments. The Prologis Park Szczecin distribution centre has been functioning since 2008. We have decided to locate this investment in the Goleniów Industrial Park mainly because of its strategic location. Szczecin is not only the closest seagoing port on the Baltic Sea (from the Atlantic Ocean), guaranteeing access to a navigable river allowing inland connection with the waterways system of all Western Europe, but also through the E28 road which joins the A6 motorway on the German side of the border, and it joins directly the network of European motorways. Until recently the region was primarily associated with the shipbuilding industry and agriculture – now it develops various economic sectors, especially those connected with advanced technologies. We have also defined huge the transshipment potential of the port – the Szczecin – Police – Świnoujście port complex is the biggest sea port complex in Poland. All these arguments show the potential of investments in this region and have convinced us that it is the right place for building a modern distribution facility. In the area of Szczecin, an increase of economic activity resulting from the proximity of the German border and Scandinavia is observable. For this reason, it becomes necessary to develop a forwarding agency in Szczecin which will handle the shipments coming from the West Pomeranian Region. Many companies, not only from Poland but also from Western Europe opens its branches here to produce goods and provide storage services. Raben Group is a proud owner of the most modern facility in the Region. Its innovation has a direct effect on the quality of services and benefits for our customers as it optimizes processes and provides even greater security of goods.
