Katowice itself significantly undervalued in Poland and it’s property market still contains a very appealing level of room for continued growth. Katowice has always been a comparatively wealthy city due to the mining industry. The current level of unemployment is currently estimated to be 7%, which is one of the lowest rates in Poland. GDP is 17% higher than the national average.

The most important industries include automobile assembly, engineering, and the production of chemicals, steel, building materials and textiles. The area is home to one of the world’s largest bituminous coalfields as well as lead and zinc, around Bytom and iron ore close to Czestochowa.
One of biggest challenges facing this area is the restructuring of the economy from traditional heavy industries into a more modern and competitive model. The Katowice Special Economic Zone has been one of the most successful and well organized in Poland (see below) in helping to attract large scale FDI.

Katowice and its surrounds have also been developing higher education, small and medium enterprises, commerce and services. There is a well developed and highly diversified scientific and educational reserve including 11 public universities. The largest being in Katowice: the University of Silesia home to 37,000 students. The University of Technology in Gliwice is also highly regarded in Poland.

The enormous potential and capacity of Katowice’s regional market is highly impressive, as well as Silesia, this also includes eastern Czech Republic and northern Slovakia. Not surprising that some of Poland’s largest shopping malls have been built in the city. The International Fair in Katowice is also Poland’s second largest.

The Katowice area will see further regeneration and investment with the 2012 European Football Championship hosted by Poland and Ukraine. Group matches are planned for the Silesian Stadium in Chorzow, due for completion in 2010.
