"We received about 70 location proposals, and three of them are in Poland. Prime Minister Morawiecki was a good seller, convincing me why I should consider Poland" - Intel president Pat Gelsinger tells Polish daily, Rzeczpospolita.
The newspaper reports that the investment was one of the topics of his conversation with Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on September 8 at the company's R&D center in Gdańsk. In the location chosen by the concern, eight plants are to be built, which will cost a total of EUR 80 billion.
"The project is planned for a decade, 10,000 people will find work in it. Each of them will employ five or ten people employed, among others, by suppliers" - the daily reports.
According to unofficial information, Lower Silesia and its economic zones, Polish "Silicon Valley", have the greatest chances.
Intel is expected to make a choice by the end of the year. For this investment, Poland competes against Germany, Italy, France, and Ireland.
