Abstract: In a period of the global economic crisis, Polish entrepreneurs call the authorities for activities conducive to economic growth. There is a necessity for support of private business investments which enables not only increase in competitiveness but also acceleration of regions’ development and the creation of new workplaces. One of the effective incentives is the creation of special economic zones where investors can be granted different tax privileges and reliefs. One of the special, fastest growing economic zones in Poland, is the Suwalki Special Economic Zone. For 16 years it has generated more than 5,700 workplaces in nearly 70 companies. The level of investments reached over 1.7 billion.
