The history of our Park dates back to 1996. At the time, representatives from academia, business, financial institutions, local government and government agencies met at a conference on the idea of technology parks. It was initiated by the Wrocław City Hall, the Lower Silesian Chamber of Commerce and the Foundation for the Development of Wrocław University of Technology.

These discussions resulted in the establishment of the Initiative Group for the implementation of the project – Technology Park in Wrocław. It included representatives from:

  • Wrocław University of Technology,
  • Agricultural University of Wrocław (now University of Environmental and Life Sciences), ,
  • University of Wrocław,
  • Wrocław University of Technology Development Foundation,
  • Academy of Economics (now University of Economics),
  • Dolmel Investment Company sp. z o. o.,
  • Lower Silesian Chamber of Commerce,
  • Wrocław Voivod (representing the State Treasury),
  • Wrocław Municipality.

It was the activities of the Initiative Group that laid the foundation for the launch of the Wrocław Technology Park. They created a joint-stock company structure that was to become the framework for the park’s operation.  Subsequently, in accordance with the project adopted by the members, they became founding shareholders of the company, established on 10 July 1998 (the Academy of Economics did not join and did not become a shareholder).

The creation of the WPT was important not only for Wrocław, but also for the whole of Lower Silesia. Its creation was part of the region’s development strategy adopted by the local authorities of the Lower Silesian Voivodship.  Intensive efforts led to the first Gamma Building, which was completed six years after the creation of the company, in 2004.  Another Beta building was completed just two years later. The first companies have started to move into WPT.

The real flowering of our Park is linked to the project “From Wrocław Technology Park to Innopolis Wrocław”, implemented with EU funding. It has enabled us to create a rich laboratory and office infrastructure. During the course of the project, five facilities were built, which today, together with Gamma and Beta, form a complex that brings together WPT’s dynamic business environment:

  • Alfa building – completed in 2009
  • Delta building – completed in 2012
  • Omega building – completed in 2012
  • Lambda building – completed in 2013
  • Sigma building – completed in 2015
  • Hala Nowa Siódemka building – completed in 2015

However, we are not resting on our laurels, we are constantly evolving to fulfil our mission and promote entrepreneurship and innovation.
