Taiwanese technology firms are interested in utilising around 280 hectares in the Środa Śląska–Miękinia Industrial Park. According to Michał Jaros, Deputy Minister for Development and Technology, investments related to, amongst other things, semiconductors, mobile technologies and solutions supporting artificial intelligence could be established there.
The project is backed by TEEMA, the Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association. This is not a single corporation, but an organisation bringing together around 3,000 manufacturers from the electronics, semiconductors, telecommunications and other technology sectors. The final list of companies interested in setting up in Miękinia is due to be announced in the autumn.
The location is of particular significance. This is a site that had previously been earmarked for Intel. The American manufacturer had planned a $4.6 billion investment there, but in July 2025 it abandoned the project as part of cost-cutting measures. Today, the park offers over 280 hectares of investment land.
Taiwan’s interest is part of Europe’s drive for greater technological independence. The European Commission is developing its Chips Act 2.0 policy and aims to boost Europe’s capacity to produce advanced semiconductors needed, amongst other things, for AI.
For Poland, the project represents an opportunity to utilise the infrastructure prepared for Intel, create new jobs and foster the development of local suppliers. However, this is conditional on the rapid provision of energy, water and gas, as well as efficient administrative procedures. The planned 20-month implementation period shows that the competition is not only about land and money, but also about the speed at which the state acts.
