Łukasiewicz Research Network - PORT Polish Center for Technology Development in Wroclaw with new space for science and business

New laboratories, Technology Incubator for startups, space for Technology Education Centre. These are the development plans for the next few years for the research institute Łukasiewicz - PORT in Wroclaw. Their implementation will be possible by expanding the center with more buildings of the Pracze Campus, where it has its headquarters.
The agreement on additional equipment for the institute was signed on April 4 this year in Wroclaw. The notarial deed was signed by Mariusz Jerzy Golecki, Undersecretary of State in the Ministry of Development and Technology and Andrzej Dybczynski, PhD, Director of Łukasiewicz - PORT.
Łukasiewicz - PORT takes over Pracze Campus
Under the signed agreement Łukasiewicz - PORT has received part of the Pracze Campus, which previously belonged to the Wroclaw municipality. According to a resolution passed by the City Council of Wroclaw, the area was first handed over to the State Treasury, to be finally taken over by the Wroclaw research and development center. As a result, the entire area of the historical complex will be its headquarters.
Reintegration of the Pracze Campus
Reintegration of the campus opens up a long-term perspective for the development not only of the Wroclaw institute and the Łukasiewicz Research Network to which it belongs, but also for science and innovation in the entire region.

Revitalization of the campus in Pracze Odrzanskie
Reintegration of the campus is not only a chance for Łukasiewicz - PORT, which gains a place allowing further development, but also for the historic complex of buildings erected in the years 1899-1913. So far only a part of the buildings and the surrounding area has been renovated. The remaining buildings - including 4 large ones and several smaller ones, such as a former church, a pump station, a workshop and a dovecote - are currently in poor condition. Restoring them to their former glory and adapting them to their new functions will be a long-lasting, complicated and costly process that will take many years and will be implemented in stages.
After signing the retrofit agreement, the Łukasiewicz - PORT headquarters expanded by over 4 hectares and buildings with a total area of nearly 21 thousand square meters. Now the Institute's area covers about 12 hectares, and the surface of the buildings is about 50 thousand square meters.
