As the European Chips Act begins to take shape, regions across the continent are competing not only for investment but also for technological sovereignty, energy security, and talent. Among the most dynamic players in this new landscape is Pomerania — the northern region of Poland, encompassing GdaÅsk, Gdynia, and Sopot — which is rapidly positioning itself as a bridge between the Nordic technology triangle and Central European manufacturing powerhouses.
We spoke with Mikolaj Trunin, Deputy Director of Invest in Pomerania, about how the region is becoming Poland’s most active semiconductor hub, what it plans to showcase at Semicon Europa in Munich, and why energy, logistics, and collaboration are key to its success.
Mikolaj Trunin:
Because we approach semiconductors as a strategic ecosystem, not just a single industry. Over the past two years, SK hynix, OpenChip, and MEP Solutions have all announced their semiconductor-related investments in Pomerania — the only region in Poland where such projects are taking shape.
We have the strongest talent base in the country, a coordinated regional strategy, and — most importantly — a shared commitment to building this sector. Through Invest in Pomerania, local authorities, municipalities, universities, and private investors work together under one unified brand: Pomerania. This cooperation model mirrors what Silicon Saxony has successfully built in Germany. In fact, earlier this year, we conducted a study visit to Dresden to exchange best practices, and we are now applying those lessons here in Northern Poland. That’s what makes Pomerania the country’s most dynamic and coordinated semiconductor region.
