Katowice's Ambitious Vision: Shaft Katowice Takes Shape
Katowice is cementing its position as a leading innovation hub with the announcement of Shaft Katowice – Silesian Hub for Advanced Future Technologies. This ambitious project, spearheaded by Katowickie Inwestycje, will revitalize the historic “Wieczorek” Coal Mine area into a modern complex designed to attract and foster cutting-edge businesses.
A New Epicenter for Tech, Gaming, and AI
Shaft Katowice is specifically tailored for companies operating in the dynamic sectors of new technologies, gaming, e-sports, and Artificial Intelligence. Businesses seeking a vibrant and specialized environment will find prime opportunities within this evolving ecosystem. The complex aims to provide not just office space, but a collaborative community for innovation and growth.
Strategic Location and Unique Facilities
Located in Katowice, near the picturesque Nikiszowiec district, Shaft Katowice offers an attractive address for businesses. Phase I of the project, valued at 577.2 million PLN and contracted to Strabag, focuses on the meticulous renovation of existing post-mining facilities. This includes the more than a century-old “Pułaski” Shaft complex, preserving its unique industrial heritage while integrating modern functionalities.
The revitalized buildings will feature a range of specialized facilities crucial for tech and creative industries, including state-of-the-art laboratories and innovative show rooms. An underground passage will seamlessly connect different parts of the complex, enhancing connectivity, while a serene park with thematic gardens will provide green spaces for relaxation and inspiration. The design ensures that the historical spatial relationships of the original industrial structures remain intact, offering a truly unique blend of past and future.
Commitment to Sustainability
A key highlight of Shaft Katowice is its strong commitment to environmental responsibility. The entire complex will be powered by renewable energy sources, offering a sustainable and eco-friendly operational environment. This focus on green technology aligns with the values of many modern businesses and contributes to a reduced carbon footprint.
A Major Investment in Katowice's Future
With an estimated completion time of 32 months for Phase I, Shaft Katowice represents one of the largest municipal investments in Katowice in recent years. This significant commitment from the city underscores its dedication to fostering economic growth and attracting high-tech industries. For businesses looking to establish or expand their presence in a forward-thinking, well-supported environment, Shaft Katowice presents an unparalleled opportunity.
