Wroclaw – the city of meetings. The city of the International Oktoberfest.
The capital of Lower Silesia, which is one of the most dynamic cities in Poland, has been attracting Polish and foreign investors for years.
The fact that Wroclaw is a modern, dynamic and innovative city played a crucial role when investors made their investment decisions.
