Top CEE investable projects 2026: Komunalna Economic Activity Zone, Tarnów, Poland

Project overview

Komunalna Economic Activity Zone is part of a larger investment project led by the Tarnów City Hall, aimed at promoting industrial and service development.

Thanks to the support from the regional operational programme of the Małopolska Voivodeship, the investment area is ready for immediate use. Potential investors may also be encouraged by the city’s fast administrative path programme, as well as various national initiatives.

The area comprises more than 97,000 sq m of land and is equipped with modern technical infrastructure networks, including water supply, sewage, electrical energy, as well as technological ducts for gas and telecommunications.

The opportunity

The city is located in the heart of Poland’s Małopolska region, and thanks to its extensive network of roads and railways, as well as its proximity to two of Poland’s major airports, it offers both domestic and international business opportunities for investors.

The designated investment area is part of the Polish Investment Zone, which is designed to support new investments in the country through tax reliefs and incentives for companies, regardless of size. The level of tax relief can be as much as 60% of the planned investment value, while income tax relief can stretch to 15 years.

As part of the fast administrative path, the Entrepreneurship Support Department at City Hall prepares an investment offer tailored to the individual needs of the investor. Each investor is assigned an adviser to represent their interests and support during the entire investment period, as well as after project completion.

The financials

The Economic Activity Zone is divided into smaller plots, which are auctioned by Tarnów City Council. Following successive auctions, the number of available investment plots in the zone has dropped to just two. Potential investors will have the opportunity to take advantage of various forms of tax incentives, as well as loans provided by state agencies.

Project sponsor

The project is being implemented by the city of Tarnów with support from provincial and national authorities. The Polish Investment Zone was established by the Act on Supporting New Investments, while the fast administrative path was introduced at the initiative of Tarnów’s president.

Significance

The Komunalna Economic Activity Zone and other projects aim to drive significant economic and social progress in Tarnów and complement the existing investments in the city and throughout the Małopolska region.

The pitch

Tarnów is the second-largest academic centre in the region in terms of the number of students, many of whom study technical fields. Thanks to significant tax incentives and advisory services, investors gain a strategic advantage while contributing to the further development of the region.

The proximity to Poland’s southern and eastern neighbours creates further opportunities for entering those markets.
