Invest in Łódź

Business Community

The strength of Łódź lies in both its residents and its entrepreneurs. Local businesses are the lifeblood of the city—they create jobs, generate income, and contribute to Łódź’s economic, social, and cultural development.

As a co-created city, Łódź focuses on building an integrated and engaged local business community.

Our activities are centered around four key sectors:

FINTECH

In October 2021, a community representing the Łódź fintech sector was established on the initiative of the City of Łódź Office. Today, it operates under the name FinTech Central Poland Foundation (FCP).

The main objectives of FinTech Central Poland are:

  • Sharing experiences
  • Promoting FinTech and BankTech solutions nationally and internationally
  • Mutual support within the community
  • Building an ecosystem that attracts investment capital and international partnerships to Łódź

Local fintech representatives meet regularly to discuss current market trends, identify the community’s evolving needs, and plan further initiatives.

BSS (Business Services Sector)

Łódź is one of Poland’s leading BSS hubs, with 139 centers employing approximately 28,510 specialists. The city is a dynamic business center, offering:

  • Competitive operational costs
  • Access to a well-educated workforce
  • A modern supply of Class A office infrastructure
  • Strategic location ensuring excellent accessibility to European markets

Long-standing cooperation with organizations such as ABSL and Pro Progressio supports sector growth through industry events and dialogue platforms between investors and local businesses.

Life Science

Łódź is emerging as a leading center for innovation in the Life Science sector, with over 150 companies in biotech, pharma, beauty, and healthcare. The city benefits from:

  • Modern R&D infrastructure
  • Access to highly qualified scientific staff
  • Collaboration with academic institutions and research centers
  • Strong foundations for the development and commercialization of breakthrough technologies

Competitive operating costs and support from government and regional programs help finance advanced and innovative projects.

Since 2023, Invest in Łódź, in partnership with tech and industry leaders, has organized Tech4Life—a platform for knowledge exchange and inspiration aimed at supporting growth and innovation in Life Science.
