Silicon Valley in Gliwice
Gazeta Wyborcza reports that Gliwice, as the only Polish city, joined the World Technopolis Association. In the future, it will result in building a modern industrial and technological park.
Last week, Zygmunt Frankiewicz, the Mayor of Gliwice, was visited by a Korean delegation from Deajeon, a city with a large technological park featuring over 200 state-of-the-art institutes and laboratories. Deajeon is also the place where the idea was born to establish an international organisation of cities investing in the development of science and technology.
Gliwice joined this exclusive group in 2005. Now, the city is to become a strong partner in Eastern Europe. Participation in the global network of World Technopolis Association means access to the latest technologies, notable economic benefits and cooperation between universities.
According to Professor Deog-Seong Oh, Gliwice is one of the most serious candidates for the organisation of the WTA summit in 2012. Mayor Frankiewicz stressed that the membership of the organisation is for him an opportunity for exchanging experiences and establishing business contacts. Soon, the first Korean concern, a manufacturer of electronic components, will start production in the Gliwice economic zone.
