Summary of challenges and opportunities for the future

Although in 2024 the Park faced numerous challenges, including limited share capital and insufficient own contributions to implement the planned projects, the Park Management Board looks to the future with optimism. The development of the Space Technology Park in 2025 will be based on ambitious goals that support the growth of innovation in the Lubuskie Province and strengthen the Park’s position as a leading research and development center in Poland.

PTK’s strategic goals for 2025:

Building competences in the space sector in the Lubuskie Province, including through projects such as the construction of a satellite.
Using and developing PTK laboratories in the field of innovative technologies and tests.
Developing commercial, research and development and test projects in cooperation with POLSA, ESA, NASA and partners from the space sector.
Establishing a Startup Center in the areas of highly specialized technology.
Strengthening partnerships in the region, creating an innovation ecosystem in the Lubuskie Province.
Development of the Dynamic Horizon Europe Center for the Lubuskie Province, supporting entrepreneurs and institutions in obtaining EU funds.
Drone Center with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Center and drone training and testing range.
Intellectual Property Protection Center and Innovation Center dedicated to local government units and NGOs.
Accredited innovation center and business environment unit operating at national and regional level.

As part of the plans for 2025, we will continue to create the Space Technology Park ecosystem, build a positive image, develop a team of specialists, and develop effective management processes. At the same time, we want to verify sustainable sources of income, effectively manage the Park facility and strengthen business relations with key target groups.

Achieving these goals will not only allow for the development of the Space Technology Park, but also strengthen the position of the Lubuskie Voivodeship as an important center of innovation and modern technologies in Poland.
