Mazowieckie Voivodeship
For over four centuries, Mazovia (Polish:
Mazowsze) has been a gateway to Poland:
its centre and the seat of the national capital.
It lies at a crossing of trade and communication
routes connecting the east and
the west of Europe. The region’s characteristic
scenery has its lasting place in the
Polish cultural landscape. It is here, in
Poland’s most populous province, that
hundreds of the biggest domestic and
foreign companies have established their
headquarters; it is here that all the major
government offices are located. For over a
dozen years, 
Mazovia has been the leader
of Polish transformation, and the country’s
fastest growing region. It is here that the
momentum of Polish transformation is
best visible. Mazovia is the province most
often chosen by foreign investors interested
in Poland as the base for their operations.
