Metropolitan Area Gdańsk Gdynia Sopot

US financial giant, State Street, announced on Thursday that they are to open a new office in Gdansk in 2016. They hope to eventually recruit more than 1,000 people in the city.

Representatives from local government and metropolitan partners from science and business met to discuss how to work together for 2030.

We are delighted to announce that more local governments have joined the Metropolitan Area Gdansk-Gdynia-Sopot (OMG-G-S, formerly GOM) as members. Gdynia, Wejherowo and Jastarnia are the latest local governements to become members of the association. The Association is the institution officially representing the 53 municipalities of the metropolis before the Government of Poland and the European Commission.

A Gdansk company, which has only been in business for just over a year, is to see its products appearing in the new Bond movie SPECTRE. What makes the story that bit more interesting is that the movie is named after the organisation created by Gdynia's most sinister son.

The Trojmiasto Job Fair, the largest such event in terms of number of visitors, employment exhibitors and job offers in northern Poland, is fast approaching and will run over two days (11-12th May) next week at Gdansk Polytechnic's Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics (ul. Gabriela Narutowicza 11/12).

The members of GOM voted to change the Memorandum of Association this week to change the name and some of the functions of the association ahead of a vote in Gdynia on whether to join the 'new' association.
