The Polish Investment and Trade Agency activities are supported by a nationwide web of regional Investor Assistance Centres (IAC). The IAC’s were set up to work in close cooperation with the Voivodship Marshals, that are responsible for the promotion of the Voivodship and function mainly within the Marshals' offices and the Agencies for Regional Development.
The IAC's employee operate according to the standards specified by PAIH. They are trained by PAIH and have constant access to specific assistance from the Agency's staff. Each of the units has as their territory for operations, the Voivodship’s area, in which they are based and keep an up to date, data base on the Voivodship’s economy. The centres also have a data base of contacts with the local authorities and business support institutions, that operate in order to develop the Voivodship.
The main goal for the IAC operation is to ensure a complete service for investors at a Voivodship level. The centres cooperate with PAIH on investment projects and provide an independent service to the investors who approach them directly.
