Employee talent and resilience
Jayee Koffey drew attention to the high quality and flexibility of Polish workers. In Wrocław alone, there are universities educating about
100 thousand students per year. These students are not only talented, but also hardworking and able to quickly adapt to changing conditions. Poland, thanks to its history and geopolitical challenges, has developed an extremely resilient and adaptive talent base, which is a significant asset for investors.
Strategic location
Poland, located in the center of the European Union, is a geographically and temporally convenient place to do business, regardless of whether customers are located in Europe, the Americas or Asia. This central location makes Poland a key point on the map of global investments.
The spirit of innovation
BNY Mellon, with over 240 years of history and responsibility for managing client assets worldwide, emphasizes the importance of innovation. Poland stands out in this field thanks to its achievements in technology, finance and value-added business services.
The spirit of innovation and the ability to adapt will be crucial for Poland’s further development.
Collaboration with local universities and R&D centers In response to a question about collaboration in more advanced areas such as R&D and technology transfer, Jayee Koffey emphasized that foreign investment in these areas benefits not only employees by upskilling them, but also the local innovation ecosystem. Collaboration with local universities, startups, and fintech companies creates an environment conducive to the next generation of innovation.
The Future of Foreign Investment in Poland In discussing the future direction of foreign investment, Jayee Koffey pointed to several key factors. Poland has an exceptional talent base, which should be continued and supported by the government. In addition, Poland has benefited from being part of the European single market, which allows for scale and attracting investors.
The Capital Markets Union, which is a topic of discussion in the European Union, has the potential to strengthen Poland’s position as a provider of value-added business services.
