The results have been announced in the globally significant ranking of European Cities & Regions of the Future, which is compiled by fDi Intelligence, an opinion magazine from the Financial Times Group. The magazine compared the most promising investment destinations across Europe. As many as 330 cities, divided into five categories based on their population, as well as 141 European regions, divided into three groups - large, medium and small, were evaluated. Cities and regions were also evaluated in five subcategories: economic potential, business friendliness, connectivity, human capital and lifestyle, and investment viability.
We have reasons to celebrate!
Wroclaw won in the category of medium-sized cities (200,000 to 750,000 residents), but also took first place as the most business-friendly place, a place with the greatest human potential, and the best place to live. It also took third place in the development strategy category and fourth place in the economic potential category.
Jacek Sutryk, President of Wroclaw: – I am extremely proud that Wroclaw was once again recognized in the prestigious FDI Intelligence ranking. This unique award confirms the important role that Wroclaw plays as a dynamic international business center. It is the result of the work and efforts of our entire community. Our commitment to social and economic development and the city’s strategic location, educated and creative workforce, and living conditions make Wroclaw an extremely attractive place for investors from every part of the globe.
