Intel has chosen Poland

Intel will invest nearly 20 billion PLN in a new factory in Miękinia near Wrocław.

The Polish Investment and Trade Agency and the Industrial Development Agency were responsible for the substantive handling of the investment, in cooperation with the Ministry of Digital Affairs and the Legnica Special Economic Zone.

The Semiconductor Integration and Testing Facility in Miękinia is the largest foreign investment in Poland (its value is 4.6 billion dollars) and the largest high-tech industry investment in this region of Europe. Poland competed for the investment location with several other countries. ARP and PAIH, together with the Ministry of Digital Affairs, jointly assisted the American company at every stage of the preparatory work for the investment, and in cooperation with the Legnica SSE, they participated in the preparation of the offer and the presentation of investment areas.

The American investors chose Miękinia near Wrocław. The infrastructural facilities and the proximity of an academic center with a strong technical university were of decisive importance. Over 2,000 employees, mainly highly qualified specialists and engineers, will find employment in the production facility alone. The American company's plant will be built on an area of almost 300 hectares.

"This is the first investment of this type in Europe, so the fight for it was difficult and long. Intel has been present in our country for 30 years. However, an investment of such a large caliber is always preceded by very detailed analyses of competitive offers from various countries. Thanks to our efforts, Poland passed this exam the best, even though the competition was really strong. We hope that this will be the beginning of a real investment boom in Lower Silesia, and that subsequent technology giants will follow in Intel's footsteps and will invest even more often in Poland." - comments Marcin Fabianowicz, managing director at the PAIH Investment Department.

ARP intends to deepen cooperation with the Legnica SSE. The first task is the proper preparation of the plot for the investment - both for Intel and its partners.

The Intel Corporation investment will increase the resilience of supply chains for products of strategic importance to the economy. The European Union intends to increase its share in global semiconductor production to 20 percent by the end of 2030, and Intel's investment will be one of the key moves that will allow this goal to be achieved.
