Implementation of uniform standards of investor assistance for Local Government Units in Mazowieckie Voivodeship
The project is implemented by the Mazovia Development Agency Plc in partnership with the Polish Investment and Trade Agency.The project consists in the implementation of uniform standards of investor service in Local Government Units (LGU) of the Mazovia region. LGUs that join the project, go through two stages and implement the standards, will receive a certificate confirming that the given local government is comprehensively prepared for professional investor service. Participation in the project will allow to increase the level of knowledge of the authorities' employees and to prepare a professional offer addressed to potential investors, as well as to develop a high level of establishing and maintaining relations between the authority and the investor/entrepreneur.
The project is a response to the activities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration, which carried out pilot activities in 2016-2018 for municipalities in the Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodeship. Currently, 45 municipalities in the region already have a Certificate confirming the implementation of the standards.
