Adopting the Polish experience in the renovation of industrial regions as part of the post-war recovery strategy for Ukraine (based on the example of Silesia)

Abstract

The article explores the specificity and potential application of Polish experience in renovating industrial regions as a critical component of Ukraine's post-war recovery strategy, mainly through the case study of the Silesian industrial region. The phased steps in the systemic transformation of the Silesian economy from a traditional region with a well-developed coal industry to a new sector of modern high-tech and innovative production have been discussed in the article. It has been established that the main factors contributing to such transformation include an effective strategy for regional development, substantial investments in human capital and education, measures to create a favourable business environment, and comprehensive organizational and financial support from the state.
