of all by the innovative companies which are situated in our technological park.

were accessible by our clients) most of our companies belongs to IT but
to architectures, CAD/CAM, chemical, and others too. They need offices only and
for that reason we were able to rent such offices for 28 companies. At present we
have no free offices and we cannot take new companies. Over 2/3 of all companies
were incubated in Technopark Gliwice, what means that they are very young. One
of them were the I3D Company situated on Polish market yet. During the first
3 years of Technopark's activities only two of 28 companies left our park. It
means that terms for business in Technopark seem to be good. In 2011, the Polish
Agency for Enterprise Development PARP conducted a competition among 17
best Polish Technoparks and incubators. The main criterion was satisfaction of
clients situated in Technoparks and incubators. Technopark Gliwice took first
place.
