The Opolskie Voivodeship is located in the south-western part of Poland in the basin of the upper Oder River in the Silesian Lowland. It directly borders with the Czech Republic. Industry and agriculture are the main sectors of the region's economy. One of the main advantages of the Voivodeship is the A4 motorway running from West to East (6 junctions) and in the northern part of the S11 expressway. An additional advantage is the proximity of the A1 motorway, motorway No. 11 (Czech Republic), the S8 expressway and expressways No. 11 and No. 57 on the Czech side. Opolskie is at the forefront of the most favourable Voivodeships to foreign capital.
