Abstract
Foreign investments play an important role in fostering local development. This article is aimed at evaluating the inflow of FDIs to the capital cities of the Polish voivodeships in 1995–2016 and their closest agglomerations. Data on the number of businesses with foreign capital used in this article originate from the Local Data Bank of the Polish Central Statistical Office. To capture a spatial concentration of businesses with foreign capital and its change from 1995–2016, a method used in analysing regional convergence, among others, was employed. The spatial distribution of FDIs in relation to the capital cities of the Polish voivodeships was analysed using Quantum GIS software and calculations in STATA 14. Conclusions arrived at showed a divergence in the number of FDIs in communes and municipalities in Poland from 1995–2016 as well as a diverse spatial pattern of FDI locations in relation to the capital city of the voivodeship.
