Two decades of development and joined forces. Pro Progressio at the Bydgoszcz Industrial and Technological Park 20th anniversary gala
On July 15th , 2025, the Bydgoszcz Trade Fair and Exhibition Center became the economic center of the region – all thanks to the Gala celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Bydgoszcz Industrial and Technological Park (BPPT). Nearly 150 guests attended the event, including representatives of government, local government, academia, business, diplomacy, and entrepreneurship support institutions.
The official part of the evening was hosted by Wiktor Doktór, President of Pro Progressio – an organization invited to collaborate on the event due to its long-standing commitment to the development of modern business services in Poland. Pro Progressio has been collaborating with the City of Bydgoszcz and the Bydgoszcz Regional Development Agency (BARR) for nearly a decade, supporting local economic initiatives and presenting the region's investment opportunities in Poland and internationally.
The Gala was hosted by Edyta Wiwatowska, President of BPPT, and invited guests included, among others, Michał Sztybel, Voivode of Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship, and Rafał Bruski, Mayor of Bydgoszcz. The ceremony coincided with the integration process of BARR and BPPT, which will formally combine their infrastructural and development potential in the coming weeks.
Speeches emphasized the Park's importance as a place where significant economic transformation has taken place over 20 years – from post-industrial areas to a modern space for cooperation between investors, universities, and local government.
People who have particularly contributed to the development of BPPT were also recognized – long-time employees and members of the supervisory boards of BPPT and BARR. The official portion concluded with a concert by the Bydgoszcz duo Pinky Loops and a joint toast with city officials.
The anniversary gala provided an opportunity not only to take stock but also to clearly mark the direction in which the Bydgoszcz business support ecosystem is heading – more integrated, flexible, and open to the new needs of entrepreneurs.
