Impact Study Data Relevant for the Investor

Workforce Availability

• Approximately 133,700 workers in relevant sectors are located in the Czech part of the 30-minute catchment area.
• An additional approx. 48,100 workers are located in the Polish part of the same catchment area.
• Approximately 17,700 relevant workers are located within 15 minutes of the site on the Czech side.
• The study estimates that approximately 70,000 workers could be available within a 30-minute radius during the crucial recruitment years.
• According to the model, approximately 94% of employees would commute from a distance of up to 30 minutes.

Housing and Services
