Lubelskie Voivodeship

Marshal Office of the Lubelskie Voivodeship is a regional authority responsible for supporting the activities of the Board – the executive body of the region, the Regional Parliament (Sejmik) and the Marshal. It also performs activities encompassing the preparation of regional development strategy and the development and implementation of regional policy measures.

Lubelskie Voivodeship is the third-largest (25,150 km2) and eighth-most-populated (2.15 million) voivodeship in Poland. Its investment attractiveness is mainly the outcome of its:

• favourable geographical situation
• climatic and soil conditions
• rapidly growing economy
• research capacities

Thanks to neighbouring Belarus and Ukraine, the voivodeship is a natural link between the economies of Western and Eastern Europe, at the same time demarcating the European Union border. The favourable geographical situation, the convenient infrastructure of border crossings, modernised main roads, and dynamic economic cooperation with partners from across the eastern border, are the main strengths of this investment-friendly region. Other attractive features of the region include: the broad range of investment areas, the systems of incentives and local investment allowances, and the authorities’ openness towards investors.

An unquestionable strength of the Lubelskie Region is insolation, the highest in Poland, which is conducive to the broadly understood agricultural production and the generation of solar energy. After Upper Silesia, the Lubelskie Voivodeship is the country’s second major coalfield. There are also small deposits of crude oil, natural gas, marl, and limestone, whereas common minerals are natural aggregates, loamy raw materials, loess clay, loam, carbonate resources, and peat. Thanks to its geographical situation and favourable geographical and natural conditions, the Lubelskie Region demonstrates high potential in terms of producing bio-fuels and developing green energy (e.g. high insolation mentioned above).
