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, the S8 and S11 expressways and the 11 and 57 on the Czech side.<br><br><b>Map of the Voivodeship against the map of the country<\/b>\n\n<\/p><div id=\"mapy\">\n<div class=\"mapySSE\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"map of Poland\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/0\/147201\/147206.svg\" style=\"padding:10px;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mapySSE\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Voivodeship map\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/0\/147201\/147205.svg\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding:10px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<br>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong><br>Investment opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A location on the main national and European communication and transport routes (A4, A1, S8 and S11 expressways, express roads in Czech Republic, railway infrastructure).<\/li>\n<li>Proximity to 3 international airports (within an hour&#8217;s drive to the airports in Wroc\u0142aw, Katowice or Ostrava) and 3 private airports located in the region.<\/li>\n<li>Transit-transport along the Odra river route connecting Opolskie with the Baltic seaports &#8211; Szczecin-\u015awinouj\u015bcie.<\/li>\n<li>Dynamic development of technical education in the field of vocational schools and Institutes of Higher Education.<\/li>\n<li>Modern and efficient agriculture.<\/li>\n<li>Potential for the development of the processing industry, a potential market of several million inhabitants.<\/li>\n<li>Diversified structure of the regional economy.<\/li>\n<li>Potential and available staff for the development of the modern business services sector in the capital of the Voivodeship, where companies such as Capgemini, Future Processing, Opta Data, Stefanini, Science and Technology Park are already present.<\/li>\n<li>Natural resources &#8211; the opportunity to specialize in the construction sector.<\/li>\n<li>Location near the Polish-Czech border, as well as belonging to the Euroregions Prad\u011bd and Silesia.<\/li>\n<li>Two special economic zones operate in Opolskie: Katowice Special Economic Zone &#8211; one of the best economic zones in the world.
