Gdansk Science and Technology Park

What Gdansk Science and Technology Park does

Gdańsk Science and Technology Park (Gdański Park Naukowo-Technologiczny, GPN-T) operates a physical and service infrastructure for technology-based entrepreneurship and innovation in Gdańsk, Poland. The park is operated by Pomorska Specjalna Strefa Ekonomiczna sp. z o.o. and functions as a regional economic development vehicle under Poland's Pomeranian Special Economic Zone rather than a venture-backed company. Core offerings span physical infrastructure — modern office space, coworking zones (Strefa Co-work), a conference and training center, a prototyping workshop (Space4Makers), and specialized laboratories (Molanote) — and business support services including a Technology Incubator, Acceleration Zone with StartupHack hackathons, specialized consulting (including EU funding acquisition and R&D project management), technology transfer support, drone-based inspection services, and study visits.

The park serves three primary customer segments: startups and early-stage companies operating up to three years, SMEs in sectors such as biotech, ICT, robotics, space, energy, gaming, and maritime, and research institutions pursuing commercialization. Its flagship digital program, the Pomeranian Digital Innovation Hub (PDIH), is a 31-entity consortium designated by the European Commission as northern Poland's only national European Digital Innovation Hub; the EUR 3 million program focuses on Industry 4.0, Robotics, AI, VR/AR, and Cybersecurity with maritime specialization and targets support to 560 enterprises and 1,600+ services over three years. Tenant base of 30+ includes Polpharma Biologics, QIAGEN Gdańsk, POLSA (Polish Space Agency), Gemini Hutter, PIRXON, Byte Barrel, Lasuno, and Inero Software across diverse verticals.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring real estate rental (office and coworking subscriptions billed monthly or annually), professional services (consulting, technology transfer, drone services, training), and EU/national funded projects. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The organization operates as a government-supported economic development entity with no venture capital or private equity ownership, with membership in IASP and EBN anchoring international positioning.
