The country is still one of the leaders in terms of economic development among EU countries

Poland's economy, with GDP growth of 5.4% in 2004, is developing much faster than the Euro zone (1.3%) and higher than the average of all 25 EU members (1.6%). Poland's growth has been driven to a significant extent by export growth, industrial production and investments

Poland with about 40 million of inhabitants is the largest market in Central Europe and the eighth largest in the continent.Its population makes Poland a market larger than the combined markets of all the other nine accession countries that entered the EU together with Poland in May 2004

Flourishing investments This geographic location creates a number of opportunities. One of them is getting investment and jobs from the Western part of Europe as well as from the US and Asia. Another opportunity is the facility of delivering goods to the Western, Eastern, Northern and Southern parts of Europe and to the countries outside Europe

Poland has the largest working population in Central Europe. It is also one of the youngest populations on the continent:
· 50% of the Polish society is under the age of 34 years 
· and 35% is under 25 years of age

Polish employees are ambitious. E.g. foreign investors rate highly the skills and commitment of Polish employees. In many cases the Polish subsidiaries of foreign companies were judged to be the most effective units worldwide according to their management

Highly educated. For young Poles higher education is becoming increasingly commonplace. In 2002 Polish higher schools provided education for 1.8 million students. In the same year over 340,000 people graduated from colleges and universities, four times as many graduates in 2002 as there had been in 1992
