InvestGDA Dlaczego działamy dla Gdańska?

We support Gdańsk initiatives

InvestGDA CUP 2020
On September 6 2020, the first professional football tournament InvestGDA CUP for children born in 2010 and 2012, took place in the Gdańsk Stadium. The event was a joint initiative of the Pomeranian Football Association, InvestGDA and Arena Gdańsk Operator. A total of 16 teams competed on smaller pitches arranged within the main stadium arena –12 boys’ and 4 girls’ teams. The main purpose of the tournament was to promote and support young football talents and encourage fair play attitudes among the youth. The team spirit and bravery of young players matched the qualities of professionals playing in European Championships or World Cups. The best boys’ team was the one organized by the Lechia Gdańsk football school, while the winner among the girls was the Lotos Gdańsk Football Academy. The event was organized under the honorary patronage of the Mayor of the City of Gdańsk.
#MealForTheEffort
Gdańsk Economic Development Foundation, which operates under InvestGDA, together with its Partners, came up with an initiative to counter the difficult situation caused by the pandemic in spring 2020. The initiative was referred to as #PosiłekZaWysiłek, which can be freely translated as #MealForTheEffort,had a double purpose – first of all, it was organized to help restaurant employees in Gdańsk keep their jobs, and secondly, it was designed to support health care staff and the elderly inhabitants of the city. For one month local restaurant owners prepared 100 hot meals a day, which were then distributed among specific health care institutions and elderly people. The initiative was a great success, also thanks to the support received from involved donors – local entrepreneurs and business environment institutions. Thank you for being with us.
Safety comes first
In summer 2020 a holiday initiative known as the Weekend Activity Zone was organized for the inhabitants of Gdańsk – children, families, groups of friends and all those who appreciate outdoor activities. Under this initiative,joint enterprise of InvestGDA and Gdańsk Stadium organized a festival promoting children’s health and safety. The program included: professional rescue shows, trainings for children in proper behavior on the road and first-aid workshops. The event was organized under the honorary patronage of the Mayor of the City of Gdańsk. A number of municipal and educational institutions undertook to support it.
A Square Meal
As a Partner of this initiative, launched in December 2020, InvestGDA decided to address the needs of the local inhabitants and institutions particularly affected by the pandemic and the related crisis. The Dobre RozDANIE initiative is part of a larger campaign known as Gdańsk Pomaga (Gdańsk Helps), which was launched in March and offers support by providing more than 2000 hot meals for the inhabitants of our city each day. The food is distributed to the elderly and families with children whose financial situation considerably deteriorated in the wake of the pandemic.
#TimeForGdańsk
It’s always Time for Gdańsk. In 2020 InvestGDA entered into collaboration with the Gdańsk Tourist Organization (Visit Gdańsk) to organize a promotional campaign with a view of encouraging people to visit and explore our city. The purpose of this initiative was to present the opportunities offered by Gdańsk, its tourist attractions as well as business and investment potential. As a Partner involved in publishing a series of business-related articles on national information websites, InvestGDA had the opportunity to support the development of the local business, tourism and leisure industry.
